Summary
From 10 collections of his verse, John Ashbery has made his own choice of 138 poems, including short lyrics, haiku, prose poems, a selection from the 16-line poems of Shadow Train and some of his long poems. Lyrical and discursive, ribald and reflective, these poems are among the most original, inventive and challenging in American verse today. The volume includes his long hypnotic meditations -- "The Skaters," "The System," "A Wave" and "Self-Portrait in a Conves Mirror" and includes selections from the poet's Some Trees, The Tennis Court Oath, and Rivers and Mountains. Ashbery is a recipient of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the MacArthur Prize Fellowship
