Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Selections from the first three decades of the poetry of John Ashbery, author of Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror , winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award
The late John Ashbery was a poet whose "teasing, delicate, soulful lines made him one of the most influential figures of late-20th and early 21st century American literature." ( The New York Times ) This important volume gathers work from his first ten collections of poetry, from Some Trees , which was chosen by W.H. Auden for the Yale Younger Poets Series (1956), to A Wave (1984). The 138 poems in this volume include short lyrics, haikus, prose poems, and many of Ashbery's major long poems, including "Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror," offering a beautiful distillation of the first thirty years of his remarkable, groundbreaking work.
