by David Herd (Author)
John Ashbery is America's greatest living poet. He is also greatly misunderstood. Presenting the poet in all his forms -avant-garde, nostalgic, sublime and camp - this book argues that the perpetual inventiveness of Ashbery's work has always been underpinned by the poets desire to write the poem fit to cope with its occasion.
