Your future Ashbery
The Sunday NYTBR will feature a piece on John Ashbery.
Mildly provocative? Wildly scandalous? Vaguely interesting? Nice photo? Summary: Reading Ashbery gives the former editor-in-chief of the NYTBR a headache! And his first book wasn't his first book it was a chapbook--see you can't fool the NYTBR. Except with language poetry; language poetry is truly incomprehensible. John Ashbery is old. And difficult. But he's a genius. And everybody knows it. And so does the NYTBR.
Thanks NYTBR!
Don't get me wrong; I was glad to see him there.
So, oh ok, thanks NYTBR.
