The Apricot Memoirs - Tess Guinery
Kind praise for The Apricot Memoirs
"Women are beginning to speak in so many ways, but one of the most exciting moments for me personally is when they sing in the sound of poetry and creative prose. Tess Guinery’s language and form are reminiscent of R. M. Rilke and Nayyirah Waheed, and she is distinguishing herself through a voice that continuously pours contemplation in an unhurried and hopeful stream. The Apricot Memoirs as a collection is like a psaltry for the dreamer within us, and it’s hard to read these pages without feeling close to the woman herself. Guinery has taken her gaze for design and transformed the seeing eye into the eloquent pen. I’m excited for women everywhere to benefit from a writer who is like the wise older sister we all wished we had. Maybe we still do."
—Teresa Archer, Darling magazine
It is hard not to be immediately drawn into Tess’s world—with its ethereal language and heartfelt guidance. We are excited about everything she does, and this work is no exception!
—Emma Roberts & Karah Preiss, Belletrist
‘Within poetry, there is painting, within paintings, there is poetry’—Su Shi (1037–1101). When I came across this quote, Tess Guinery’s work immediately came to mind as among those that really embodies the interwoven nature of these artistic forms. She paints with her words and speaks poetry with her paintings. I have found much encouragement from her prose, which have been songs and psalms for my own soul. So much gratitude for the warmth and truth that they hold. Thank you, Tess, for your willingness to share your soul through your poetry and paintings.
