"Her poems begin in the midst of action," wrote Peter Gizzi in his introduction to a collection of her work, "but their angle of perception is oblique."〔Guest, p. xvii〕 Her poems are known for their abstract quality, vivid language, and intellectualism. She believed that the subject of the poem finds itself through the writing of the poem and through the poet's imagination. "Disturbing the conventional relations of subjects and objects, of reality and imagination, is one of Guest's signature gestures," noted Gizzi.〔Guest, p. xviii〕 Among her most well-known poems are ("Parachutes, My Love, Could Carry Us Higher," (MP3) ) ("Wild Gardens Overlooked by Night Lights, (MP3)" ) ("Roses," ) and ("Photographs." )
