- Summary:
- John Ashbery appraises the lesser-known poets who shaped his own confounding, infinitely inventive work. In lectures on John Clare, Thomas Lovell Beddoes, Raymond Roussel, John Wheelwright, Laura Riding, and David Schubert, Ashbery shows how these writers shaped both his own poetics and the broader trajectory of twentieth-century literature.
