The poetry of John Ashbery has been awarded virtually every conceivable literary prize including the National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize, the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Griffin, and the National Book Critics Circle Award. Planisphere is a new collection by one of America?s most innovative and influential poets?an exceptional artist whose work stands alongside the finest of Whitman, Dickinson, Stevens, and Hart Crane. For more than half a century Ashbery has been producing timeless works such as Chinese Whispers, Hotel Lautréamont, A Wave, Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror, and Where Shall I Wander. Planisphere is proof that the master only improves with age.
