Parallel Movement of the Hands collects five long, serial poems
(and prose poems) which John Ashbery left unfinished and will
become part of his archive at Harvard University's Houghton
Library. 'In-progress and realised' as their editor Emily Skillings
puts it, these abundant poems are characteristic of the mature work
of this American master, an adept of the glories of American
speech, who is alert to its insinuating logics and its wild goose
chases through popular culture and secret histories. In these
poems, Carl Czerny rubs shoulders with the Hardy Boys, Robert
Mapplethorpe and Eadweard Muybridge, all of them integrated into
Ashbery's generous, omnivorous forms. 'How could I have had such a
good idea?' the poet asks in 'The History of Photography'. So many
good ideas, such a wealth of surprising points of departure.
