Opis

This book shows how Ashbery's poetry has been centrally concerned with questions of national identity and intercultural poetic exchange. Through detailed close readings of his poetry, original interviews, and extensive archival research, a new account of Ashbery's aesthetic, and a significant re-mapping of post-war English poetry, is presented.

Recenzje

Hazzard's prose is clear, and those fascinated either with the great New York School poet or with the differences between national literatures will find this book interesting. Summing up: Recommended
