X Marks the Dress
A Registry
Kristina Marie Darling & Carol Guess

“Organized as poems, footnotes, appendices of missing text, and poetry fragments, Darling and Guess’s paratext resists normative expectations, much as the three personas of the poems—the bride, the [trans] groom, and his/her mistress do.”
—The Boston Review

“While marriage may be taking no prisoners in this collection, it’s clear that the union of Darling and Guess was a perfect one. They produced a stunning, vivid, and emotionally visceral feminist rumination.”
—Pleiades: A Journal of New Writing

“By turns narrative and lyric, imagistic and minimalist, X Marks the Dress is a collaborative tour de force of great emotional and epistemological weight.”
—Lambda Literary Review
