Carolyn Guyer's "Quibbling"
Carolyn Guyer's Biography
Among the early wave of hypertext fiction writers, Carolyn Guyer is the author of Quibbling, published by Eastgate Systems, Inc. in 1992. Her other hypertexts include a collaborative fiction, Izme Pass, with co-authors Martha Petry and Michael Joyce; Lasting Image, with co-author Michael Joyce, published by Eastgate Systems, Inc. on the web in 1999; and Sister Stories, with co-authors Rosemary Joyce and Michael Joyce, published by NYU Press Online in 2000. In 1993, Guyer also founded HiPitched Voices, a women’s hypertext collective that helped to launch the Hypertext Hotel at Brown University. Guyer originally came to hypertext as a mixed-media visual artist, and in recent years has turned to textiles as her primary visual art interest. It was in this medium that she and Michael Joyce created More Than a Year, an art book poem on canvas, translated into Polish and published in the post-disciplinary journal on contemporary culture Ha!art in 2013. Now retired, she was Director of Web Development at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York.
