One of the most notable members of the New York School—and its
best-known woman—Barbara Guest began writing poetry in the 1950s
in company that included John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, Frank
O’Hara, and James Schuyler. And from the beginning, her practice
placed her at the vanguard of American writing. Guest’s poetry,
saturated in the visual arts, extended the formal experiments of
modernism, and played the abstract qualities of language against
its sensuousness and materiality. Now, for the first time, all of
her published poems have been brought together in one volume,
offering readers and scholars unprecedented access to Guest’s
remarkable visionary work. This Collected Poems moves from her
early New York School years through her more abstract later work,
including some final poems never before published. Switching
effortlessly from the real to the dreamlike, the observed to the
imagined, this is poetry both gentle and piercing—seemingly
simple, but truly and beautifully dislocating.
