Roof Books (Mar 2003)
Dürer in the Window: Reflexions on Art is a selection from the world-renowned poet’s writing on visual art of the past 50 years. The artist Richard Tuttle has designed for Roof Books an 80-page full-color book to compliment Guest’s writing. Included in Tuttle’s design are the paintings and sculptures described in Guest’s poetry and essays as well as the world-class design inimical to Tuttle’s own work as an artist. Dürer in the Window is a true collaboration between Guest and Tuttle resulting in a unique picture of the art-world that book collectors, readers of poetry, and libraries will be pleased to own.
Barbara Guest has published numerous collections of poetry, among them Miniatures and Other Poems, The Red Gaze, Symbiosis illustrated by visual artist Laurie Reid, Defensive Rapture, Fair Realism, and Seeking Air . Honors include the Robert Frost Medal for Distinguished Lifetime Achievement from the Poetry Society of America, the Lawrence Lipton Award for Literature, the Longwood Award, a San Francisco State award for poetry, the Columbia Book Award, and a grant from The National Endowment for the Arts.
