A capsule of the imaginative life of the individual, Some Trees is
the 52nd volume of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Comparing him
to T. S. Eliot, Stephanie Burt writes that Ashbery is "the last
figure whom half of the English-language poets alive thought a
great model, and the other half thought incomprehensible." After
the publication of Some Trees, selecting judge W. H. Auden famously
confessed that he didn't understand a word of it. Most reviews were
negative. But in this first book of poems from one of the century's
most important poets, one finds the seeds of Ashbery's oeuvre,
including the influence of French surrealists-many of whom he
translated-and abstract expressionism.
