"Theater such as Kenneth Koch cannot be simply paraphrased, and
presents to the audience the classic Mennipean challenge: to
ponder, to mull it over, to "think.""--Mac Wellman
"The Banquet" brings together 144 plays, ten screenplays, and
five operas spanning more than five decades of experimental work
from a writer John Ashbery has called "simply the best we have."
Witty, provocative, and playful, Kenneth Koch's work draws on
poetry, musicals, improvisational comedy, satire, and other forms
for their inspiration and touches on subjects ranging from the
silly to the sublime.
Kenneth Koch (1925-2002), known for his association with the New
York School of poetry, wrote many collections of poetry, fiction,
plays, and nonfiction. His books include "Seasons on Earth," "On
the Edge," "Thank You and Other Poems," "The Art of Love," "One
Thousand Avant-Garde Plays," "Hotel Lambosa," and "The Collected
Fiction," and several books on teaching children how to write
poetry. Koch was awarded numerous honors, including the Rebekah
Johnson Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry, awarded by the Library
of Congress in 1996, as well as awards from the American Academy of
Arts and Letters and the Fulbright, Guggenheim, and Ingram-Merrill
foundations. In 1996 he was inducted as a member of the American
Academy of Arts and Letters. Kenneth Koch lived in New York City,
where he was professor of English at Columbia University.
