Selected Prose 1953-2003 by John Ashbery
Selected Prose 1953-2003 presents for the first time in one volume many essays on authors who have influenced John Ashbery's development as a major voice in poetry. They are arranged chronologically to assist the reader in following the development of Ashbery as a poet. These critical works are as essential to the cultural and literary history of twentieth-century poetry as are the critical prose of T.S. Eliot and W. H. Auden. They vividly portray a literary sensibility which is one of the most important in the development of poetry in English over the last century and equally influential on poetry and art in the twenty-first century.
John Ashbery was born in 1927 in Rochester, New York. In 1975 he won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror. He has been named a Guggenheim Fellow twice, awarded the annual fellowship of the Academy of American Poets in 1982 and received a MacArthur Prize Fellowship in 1985. He is Charles P. Stevenson Jr. Professor of Language and Literature at Bard College and lives in New York City and Hudson, New York
