Three Poems (American Poetry Series) by John Ashbery
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 76 KB
Overview: These poems are dense. They appear in paragraph form and wax more philosophically than most poetry of his that I have read up to this point. That being said, I particularly enjoyed the first two poems, "The New Spirit" and "The System", with "The Recital" seeming more like an afterthought.
Just reread this and it amazed me. Three really long poems written primarily in prose paragraphs that have a strange, spacey and warped analytical style to them. Almost like trying to write a history book without any proper nouns, all these vague notions moving around in lushly abstract descriptions. I’d imagine this book is pretty easy to hate but you have to admit that it’s a totally new arena for poetry that Ashbery just opened up, unlike anything that came before.
