 Selections from the first three decades of the poetry of John Ashbery, author of Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award

The late John Ashbery was a poet whose "teasing, delicate, soulful lines made him one of the most influential figures of late-20th and early 21st century American literature." (The New York Times) This important volume gathers work from his first ten collections of poetry, from Some Trees, which was chosen by W.H. Auden for the Yale Younger Poets Series (1956), to A Wave (1984). The 138 poems in this volume include short lyrics, haikus, prose poems, and many of Ashbery's major long poems, including "Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror," offering a beautiful distillation of the first thirty years of his remarkable, groundbreaking work.

About John Ashbery

Among the central figures of the New York School, John Ashbery (1927–2017) was born in Rochester, New York. His collection Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror (Viking, 1975), prompted by the Parmigianino painting, won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award in a single year, the only book to take all three. He won the 2008 International Griffin Poetry Prize for Notes from the Air: Selected Later Poems. The Poetry Society of America awarded him the Robert Frost Medal in 1995. He published more than twenty volumes of poetry across six decades and worked for years as an art critic in Paris and New York.
