"John Ashbery's verse challenges our notions about how poems come to be written, how they work, and what they wish to say or do. His work must be met on its own astonishing terms. Surveying Ashbery's entire career to date, the ten critics writing for this volume have set out to establish those terms--to lead readers beyond amazement, toward enlightened appreciation." [publisher copy] "BEYOND AMAZEMENT: NEW ESSAYS ON JOHN ASHBERY will be extremely useful to readers of poetry, and especially to teachers and students. The essays--serious and unrepetitive--provide a number of critical entries to Ashbery's work and are sufficiently varied to be useful for those readers and teachers who want to know how to talk about it.

Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.…
