Description:
<DIV><B>A mesmerizing, endlessly entertaining collection that shows John Ashbery at his most exuberant, honest, and inviting </B><BR /><BR />John Ashbery&rsquo;s nineteenth original collection of poetry, first published in 2000, might be one of the &ldquo;Ashberyest&rdquo; of his long and varied career. In these poems, the slippery pronouns (who is speaking, who is being spoken to?), the high-low allusions (Daffy Duck, please meet Rimbaud), and the twists of context (where are we anyway, and what&rsquo;s happening here?) that have long been hallmarks of Ashbery&rsquo;s poetry are on full, rambunctious display. Beginning with the book&rsquo;s very title, Ashbery invites the reader into the world of his poetry like never before; each poem can be read as a postcard to experiences that could be yours, his, or anyone&rsquo;s.<BR />&#160;<BR />And yet the poems in <I>Your Name Here </I>are also personal and particular. The collection is dedicated to an old friend, and in the well-known &ldquo;History of My Life,&rdquo; Ashbery strikes a rare autobiographical chord.<BR />&#160;<BR />Some of the best-known poems of Ashbery&rsquo;s later career are here, including &ldquo;Not You Again,&rdquo; &ldquo;Crossroads in the Past,&rdquo; and &ldquo;They Don&rsquo;t Just Go Away, Either.&rdquo; Polyphonic, deeply honest, and frequently very funny, <I>Your Name Here</I> is both wonder filled and wonderful.<BR /></DIV>
