Review
"From 'The Skaters' (1966) to 'A Wave' (1984), John Ashbery has produced a remarkable series of longer poems. But perhaps none is quite so various, so beautiful, and so new as "Flow Chart," a very long poem that recalls Wordsworth's 'Prelude.'"--Marjorie Perloff," The New York Times Book Review""This is what real achievement in a contemporary poet consists of: he has laid down guidelines and made his mark on the language of the tribe."--John Bayley, "The New York Review of Books""Flow Chart, Ashbery's magnum opus, is . . . the fullest demonstration to date of this poet's fascination with what Walter Pater described as 'that strange, perpetual weaving and unweaving of ourselves.' . . . [Ashbery] is likely to be seen as the defining voice of his nation and time."--Robert Crawford, "Poetry Review (U.K.)""Flow Chart" is Ashbery at his most robust and determined."--"Library Journal"

First published in 1991, it is a single, book-length poem, one of the longest ever written by an American poet. Here is a summary of its content and themes: Subject Matter: The poem is a meditation on life, death, and everyday realities, perceived through self-reflection. Ashbery described it as a "continuum, a diary". Style and Structure: It is composed of more than 5,000 lines of free verse in six connected movements. The language uses standard grammar and syntax, but the meaning is often elusive, challenging the reader to keep up with its flow. Themes: The work explores the discontinuity of modern life and human consciousness. It is described as a "torrent of invention" that comes close to an epic poem for the postmodern era.
