Syntax Is A Second Skin

wikiHow book forthcoming from Black Lawrence Press

2012-01-16T14:42:00.000-08:00

I'm thrilled to announce that How To Feel
Confident With Your Special Talents has
been accepted for publication by Black
Lawrence Press! I co-wrote this book
with poet Daniela Olszewska, using entries
from wikiHow as our daily prompts. We
wrote every day, sending half-poems
back and forth on email, finishing each
other's work by nightfall. Titles came
directly from wikiHow: "How to Ride
an Icelandic Horse," "How to Do the Cha
Cha," "How to Stop Co-workers From

Stealing Your Food." Look for excerpts
in journals; the book will be published
in 2014. Here's a link to "How to Sneak
Your Cat Into Work (with pictures)":

Fantastic review of Darling Endangered

2012-01-08T20:11:00.000-08:00

It's always a gift when a stranger reads
one of my books and absolutely gets it.
Heather Seggel's lyrical review of Darling
Endangered reminded me of why I write,
and who I'm trying to reach. Find her review,

want to check out the Harry Guess Research Community,
a virtual research community for pharmacoepidemiology.
Which seems to be spelled wrong on their website,
although maybe scientists have their own spellings for things.

How To Stop Misbehaving In Public

2011-10-06T18:00:00.000-07:00

This is such a problem for me! I am a misbehaving
sort. Apparently it's also a problem for my colleague in
crime, Daniela Olszewska, because we co-wrote a poem
about it, here:
http://www.sixthfinch.com/
It's got a longish title, so be prepared: "How to Ensure
No One Argues When Playing Princess Party Games
or How to Stop Misbehaving In Public." So there.
And yes, this is another poem from our wikiHow
manuscript, currently circulating, titled How To
Feel Confident With Your Special Talents.
While you're visiting Sixth Finch, which
is always full of awesome poetry and art,

Sickness of 2011, and is now happy and playful.
Here's a photo from her sicklet days, taken by
my friend Kerry. Note tube in her neck: we
had to tube feed her every few hours for three
weeks! Oddly, the only thing that calmed her
during tube feedings was Project Runway.

Interview @ The Rejectionist

2011-02-17T07:56:00.000-08:00

One of the best parts of teaching takes place
in the future, when students go on to become
artists, writers, and teachers who inspire others,
especially me! That's the case with The Rejectionist,
whose wit, intelligence, syntax, and politics continue
to thrill me. If you aren't reading The Rejectionist
regularly, you should be. Here's our interview:

The Art of Compression

2011-02-05T12:10:00.000-08:00

Check out this nifty new journal, as well as its
accompanying press, Matter Press:
http://matterpress.com/journal/

photo: Diem Chau

In my graduate fiction workshop, we've been talking
about the power of hybrid work to encompass
the best traits of each genre. I like the phrase
"compressed creative arts" so much; finally
an aesthetic I can call my own! Not fiction, not nonfiction,
not poetry -- just tiny things. And when I google
"tiny things" I come up with this fabulous blog:
http://tinyhaus.blogspot.com/
and from there to Diem Chau's art:
http://diemchau.com/

photo: Diem Chau

and now I'm back to dolls and miniatures,
the subject of my forthcoming book Doll Studies:
Forensics. My grad class is also exploring dance
as a trigger for writing, so I've been reflecting on
ways my background in dance (ballet) might have
influenced me as a writer. I know that compression
is absolutely central to my aesthetic, and that I actually
feel it in my body when I write. Pulling in and up,
like dancing on pointe. Maybe if I were a marathon
runner I'd be writing long, loopy novels. And of course,
these days I'm not dancing, but I do spend lots of time
in a very hot room, practicing Bikram yoga. Central
to this practice (contrary to popular thought on yoga)
is compression, not stretching. Take rabbit pose:

photo: Bikram Yoga White Rock

or standing head to knee:

photo: Bikram Yoga White Rock

I wonder sometimes, when I'm sweating in hundred degree heat,
how much of an influence a practice based on contraction
and release, based on compressing the body (rather than
stretching) has had on my obsession with prose blocks.
In other news, I recommend livestream Al Jazeera

Snowed out

2011-02-02T07:58:00.000-08:00

Disappointing news: I'm snowed out of AWP.
My flights through Chicago were canceled, so
I'm home, reading my conference paper to my cat.
Safe travels to you all, and please feel free to email
me if you've got questions about any of my books
or my panel presentation topic. I'm always happy
to chat on email: carolannguess (at) gmail (dot) com
Maybe it's time for AWP to schedule a conference
in a warmer location. Seattle or Portland anyone?

AWP Details

2011-01-30T13:34:00.000-08:00

It's hard to tear myself away from coverage of
the revolution in Egypt, but here are more details
on my AWP events. Please visit me if you're at
the conference! Let me know what you've been
up to, and where I can read your work. I'm also
increasingly interested in collaborating, especially
with visual artists, so keep that in mind.
Events on Friday, Feb. 4th:
VRZHU Press
http://vrzhu.poetrymutual.org/books.html
10-11 am
book signing for Love Is A Map I Must Not Set On Fire

Panel: Don't Ask/Don't Tell the Workshop
12-1:15pm

Harding Room
Marriott Wardman Park, Mezzanine Level

F144. Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell the Workshop. (Lori Horvitz, Lee Ann Roripaugh, Carol Guess, Kristin Naca, Catherine Reid) This panel questions the common workshop practice of critiquing through a formalist lens, in which the larger ideological/historical contexts of a piece remain unspoken. What are the implicit tensions between this approach and teachers or students who perceive the workshop as an inherently political space? As queer women writers and teachers, we will discuss strategies and possibilities for raising social awareness in classroom discussions and dynamics.

Rose Metal Press

3-4pm

book signing for Tinderbox Lawn

and The Rose Metal Press Field Guide

a focus on queer issues)
12 pm - 1:15pm

Rose Metal Press book signing
3-4pm

I'm excited to meet you. I really am.
Of course, I'm sort of shy and introverted,
which makes AWP a little hard because
it looks like this:

and this:

which is strange to me, because I think writing looks like this:

and usually doesn't involve other people. However,
please visit me. Tell me about your work. Read me a
poem or, if you prefer, a very short story, or the start
of one. I would really like to know what you've been
up to, even if we've never met.

New work in NOÖ Journal

2010-11-23T08:01:00.000-08:00

My poem "Detachable Sainthood" is in the new
issue of NOÖ Journal. I wasn't thinking of the
song "Detachable Penis"when I wrote the poem,
but I did have to watch that video over and over
when I was the TA in a Women's Studies class
in grad school. Not sure why it was such
a fave with my professor, but hey. We also watched
lots of Michael Jackson footage, and talked
about Madonna for hours on end.

Review of Prose Poetry Field Guide in Bookslut

The Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Prose Poetry

http://www.bookslut.com/poetry/2010_07_016304.php

It's an honor to be in the company of so many
stellar poets. Our essays vary widely, but most are
more personal and creative than typical academic
writing on genre. Each essay includes samples
of the writer's prose poems. It's perfect for
classroom use, but also makes great reading for
practicing writers.

Heterosexism and the gurlesque movement

There's a smart, challenging discussion on Amy King's blog

lack of queer content/authors.

Kudos to Amy and Ana B. for speaking up and insisting
that queer women and queer content be included as
feminism continues to define itself.

Now available from VRZHU Press:

Love Is A Map I Must Not Set On Fire

This tiny book is a poetry collection I wrote years ago.
I'm very fond of it and its imaginary protagonists,
a nameless narrator and her lover/muse, Denira.

The relationship plays out against the backdrop of 9/11,
and various other personal/political disasters. The poems
are fragments -- queer, sexy, sad overheard voices.

Read it. Send me an email and let me know what you think.

ps You can order it on Amazon, but not directly from VRZHU

just yet. Sorry to send you to Amazon. Don't get lost in

those long, long halls.

Black Lawrence Press blog announcement

2010-02-24T07:20:00.000-08:00

Black Lawrence Press has created a really lovely blog post for Doll Studies: Forensics.

Click the link below, then click "Blog" on the list to the left. You'll be
redirected to the page.

http://www.blacklawrencepress.com/

I loved writing this book. It was strangely peaceful, sitting in those
quiet rooms, trying to hear their stories. I want to feel that way
about a project again -- to get lost. That's the best part about
writing, for me -- the getting lost, the stillness, the listening.

I'm grateful to photographer Corinne May Botz and artist Frances

Glessner Lee for creating such vivid imaginary worlds.

New Book Forthcoming From Black Lawrence Press

2010-02-22T18:03:00.000-08:00

I'm very excited to announce that my new poetry book, Doll Studies: Forensics, is forthcoming from Black Lawrence Press.

The poems are based on dollhouse crime scene dioramas created by Frances Glessner Lee, as photographed and researched by Corinne May Botz in her fabulous book The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death (The Monacelli Press, Inc., 2004).

More information about Black Lawrence Press is available here:

And you can find some of Corinne May Botz's photographs here:

I'll keep you posted as more information about the book becomes available. Happy reading!

My mini-essay on Heather Lewis

2010-02-20T15:18:00.000-08:00

This issue of American Book Review features "Top 40 Bad Books."

I had fun writing a mini-essay about Heather Lewis's stunningly

good novel, Notice, which she rewrote to form her stunningly

bad novel, The Second Suspect.

Writing the essay allowed me to say something I've been thinking

about for a long time. I wish I'd known Heather, and I wish she

was still here to write more books like Notice. Our first books

were published at the same time. I remember walking around

the OutWrite Conference (now defunct), feeling shy and awkward,

envying her because she had fans, and beautiful clothes, and seemed
to know everyone. Now I understand how much of an act that
was, how silly I was, and I wish I could've spoken with her even for a minute.

I wish I'd said something real.

for the other 39 essays!):

Doll Studies chapbook

Visit Dancing Girl Press here, for more

news about past and future publications.

I'm in such good company:

http://www.dancinggirlpress.com/

Meanwhile, I'm reading Kristy Bowen's

The Fever Almanac. Here are lines from

"Starve":

***

My bones are looking for something

to lick. Car crashes fill our mouths,

sugared and thrashing.

Beneath the pinks of our dresses,

in our collarbones,

there is famine.

***

I return to her work often to think about ways of

describing femininity as both trap and salvation,

and ways of writing about desire, hunger,

and sensuality in the context of violence against women

without sounding didactic. It's the lack of didacticism

that makes her lines so memorable.

Her story, "Neshaminy," is one of my favorites,
so much so that it's the epigraph to one of my novellas.

50 Gay And Lesbian Books Everybody Must Read

is a new anthology from Alyson Books, edited by

canonical works, but on overlooked and unusual texts. Each essay is

written by a writer, editor, or publisher, describing their reaction

to a text that made a difference for them.

on Rebecca Brown's novel The Terrible Girls.

Here's a nifty nutshell description:

We seek writing (verse, prose, other) that does some or all of the following:
* goes beyond familiar models of lyric expressivism and "realist" narrative
* draws on the inherent rubberiness of language
* causes inanimate objects to hover eerily in midair
* replaces capitalism with a futuro-archaic barter system predicated on terrifying but flexible Deleuzean definitions of value

Queer Theory courses under attack in Georgia

2009-02-19T16:46:00.000-08:00

Queer Theory courses and professors are under attack
in Georgia. The attackers are inarticulate, as usual,
but also sloppy: their rhetoric deliberately conflates
teaching sexuality with enacting it. In courses on
American History, do we teach students how to
fire weapons, invade Native settlements, and wage
civil war? Nope. In classes on Religion, do we expect
students to pray to every God under discussion?
Nope. Why is it that the STUDY of sexuality immediately
translates, for Conservatives, into PRACTICE?
Is STUDY so very hard to understand?

What's at stake here is a lack of imagination.
As a fiction writer, as a poet, I'm invested in cultivating
a vivid and unique imagination. My imagination is
necessary for my art. As an intellectual, I also tap into
my imagination in order to grasp realities beyond
my experience -- both fictional and factual. I've never
traveled to Iraq, but learning about Iraq, and the culture
and conflicts there, is part of my education as a citizen.
Studying Iraq doesn't mean I've been there or experienced
the culture. I have to imagine a world beyond
the page, beyond the photograph. This is where having
a brain comes in handy. This is also why learning
is pleasurable -- more fun than not learning,
more fun than shutting everything out.

Fascinating to notice that there is no division,
among Conservative Outraged Citizens, between
theory and practice. This is a failure of their
own educations and educational institutions.
I'm not interested in a world without imagination.
I'm not interested in a university run by
the C.O.C..

Mostly this just makes me sad. It also
makes me think of Wallace Stevens' great poem,
"A Rabbit as King of the Ghosts." The pleasure
this poem gives me! "To be, in the grass,
in the peacefullest time, / Without that
monument of cat"

How lovely to slip inside the rabbit's being,
just for a moment; how lovely to imagine,
to escape. How awful the life of the C.O.C.,
stuck inside their very literal worlds,
without imagination, without the spiritual
transcendence that comes from art and passion.
How dry and dull their worlds must be,
without poetry, pleasure, or invention.
Days of pinning down, precisely, the alphabet
to its dusty page.
