The Selected Poems of John AshberyThe Selected Poems of John Ashbery

While Ashbery is usually thought of as a complex, insular poet, he often reveals a sense of childlike wonder at the world: "The spring, though mild, is incredibly wet./ I have spent the afternoon blowing soap bubbles." And if he is a writer who tackles eternal verities, the poet's selection of his verse for this collection shows that his immediate topics range from Popeye the Sailor to the Aquarian Age, Warren G. Harding and the weather. Ashbery recognizes that the creative artist today is "barely tolerated, living on the margin/ in our technological society."
