Paul Guest

---

Paul Guest has written two books of poems, The Resurrection of the Body and the Ruin of the World (2002 New Issues Prize in Poetry) and Notes for My Body Double, winner of the 2006 Prairie Schooner Book Prize. Rodney Jones has said "From my first encounter with Paul Guest's poetry, I have thought of him as one of the most brilliant poets in America. . . . He makes no distinction between light and dark subject matter. The accomplishment of his poems translates everything into delight." Guest's work has appeared in Poetry, Prairie Schooner, Verse, The Iowa Review, Slate, Swink, Gulf Coast, and many others. His chapbook Exit Interview is available from New Michigan Press. Paul Guest is one of ten winners of the 2007 Whiting Writers' Award.
