Sinopsis: "My father hovers in the aperture of a glistening window, suicide botched by his mother’s ghost. Numbers from his slide rule pause on the sill, fallen by chance into a brilliant formula." This interlinked collection of lyric essays documents Carol Guess’s relationship to her father, a brilliant scientist whose intensity and eccentricity shaped family life in humorous and often lonely ways. In musical prose, writing as a poet, teacher, and queer activist, Guess describes a life lived in service to language. At once accessible and enigmatic, funny and somber, My Father In Water is a haunting examination of the impact of family history on one artist’s journey.
