Poetry
Quill, Solitary Apparition
By Barbara Guest
Of Quill, Solitary Apparition Barbara Guest writes: "even in a loose-limbed vertical structure risk is encountered; to concentrate on that risk where the image recedes, lugging its solitary and watered shadow.."
"Barbara Guest's poetry and her novel, Seeking Air, have been fundamental to my work and life for twenty years. Of late, her work increases in acceleration. Quill, Solitary Apparition is of perfect weight. The whole is on a blade. I feel the poetry moves beyond me and fills in where I will go."
—Mei-mei Berssenbrugge
"Where is this world so similar to our own and yet parallel to it, detached, with passion, urgently contemplative? Perception is here purified by a flame which at last we dare call poetry. There's high energy (in this parting from modernity and its medieval trappings) made of elements which become words transcending themselves into the solitude of pure light.">
