The red gaze

"The Red Gaze is a sequence of interconnected poems on imagination and time, beginning with "Nostalgia" and ending with "Supposition." The idea of imagination propels The Red Gaze; references and allusions to art, literature, and history create what has become a signature of Barbara Guest's work - the poem as the event itself. Reading, we inhabit an art - for a brief time suspended in its vision."--Jacket.
