Fiction Poetry
His long-awaited volume, a new selection of his later
poems, spans ten major collections by one of America's most
visionary and influential poets. Chosen by the author
himself, the poems in Notes from the Air represent John
Ashbery's best work from the past two decades, from the
critically acclaimed April Galleons and Flow Chart to the
2005 National Book Award finalist Where Shall I Wander. While Ashbery has long been considered a powerful force in
twentieth-century culture, Notes from the Air demonstrates
clearly how important and relevant his writing continues to
be, well into the twenty-first century. Many of the books
from which these poems are drawn are regularly taught in
university classrooms across the country, and critics and
scholars vigorously debate his newest works as well as his
classics. He has already published four major books since
the turn of the new millennium, and, although 2007 marks his
eightieth birthday, this legendary literary figure continues
to write fresh, new, and vibrant poetry that remains as
stimulating, provocative, and controversial as ever. Notes from the Air reveals, for the first time in one
volume, the remarkable evolution of Ashbery's poetry from
the mid-1980s into the new century, and offers an
irresistible sampling of some of the finest work by this
"national treasure."
