During his career John Ashbery has been hailed as the "eminence
grise" of postmodernism, championed by W.H. Auden and has carried
off every major literary prize. His startling work alternately (and
sometimes simultaneously) playful and recondite, affirms poetry's
power to astonish and tackle fundamentals. Drawn from the work he
published up to 1984, from the spare, beautiful lyrics of "Some
Trees" and the disjunctive, experimentalism of "The Tennis Court
Oath", to the powerful mediations on subjectivity of "Self-Portrait
in a Convex Mirror" and "A Wave", this collection makes a wide
range of this poet's writing available.
