Statutes of Liberty: The New York School of Poets

by Geoff Ward

Statutes of Liberty (1993) was the first book on The New York School of Poets, and offers the definitive critical account of its key John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara and James Schuyler. This second edition contains up-to-date material on the group and its growing influence on postmodern poetics. A new postscript focuses on the work of Ashbery, currently the most esteemed American poet since Wallace Stevens, and his profile output in the 1990s, including his two hundred page epic poem Flow Chart.
