Between the Lines discussion

I haven't read any of his work. I'll have to check him out at the library. I love poetry I don't turn down a good recommendation.

Rich I will be glad to discuss John Ashbery. I have a special interest in him --vegetables and all.

thanks for the recommend Richard. I'll see if the library has it

I was very intreged and picked up his selected poems at B&N. Wow! He is amazingly gifted. I love many of his poems.

Where then shall hope and fear their objects find?
The harbor cold to the mating ships,
And you have lsot as you stand by the balcony
With the forest of the sea calm and gray beneath.
A strong impression torn from the descending light
But night is guilty. You knew the shadow
In the truck was raving
But as you keep growing hungry you forget.
The distant box is open. A sound of grain
Poured over the floor in some eagerness-- we
Rise with the night let out of the box of wind.

John Ashbery
