Description

John Ashbery's Selected Poems brings together a diverse range of his work, from the spare beauty of Some Trees to the experimentalism of The Tennis Court Oath. This collection showcases Ashbery's unique ability to tackle fundamental questions and engage readers on the deepest level. Spanning his career up to 1984, this edition features poems that alternate between playfulness and recondite complexity. From the power meditations of Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror to the introspective Houseboat Days, Ashbery's poetry is characterized by its astonishment, experimentation, and profound exploration of subjectivity. With this selection, readers can gain insight into the remarkable range of an American poet widely regarded as one of the most important figures in postmodernism.
