This concentration on Ashbery's influence on contemporary American poetry provides new methods for interpreting and understanding his poetic achievement.
Reviews / Votes
""The Tribe of John is an impressive book that makes an important contribution to the understanding both of John Ashbery's work and of the cultural contexts at work in the making of contemporary American poetry. Susan Schultz has done a superb job of assembling an interesting, stimulating book.""-Hank Lazer, The University of Alabama|""The perspectives of scholars and poet-critics engage each other here in a provocative combination of exemplary cultural criticism, historically informed close readings, and theoretical sophistication. . . . The Tribe of John contributes significantly to how we understand both Ashbery and, more broadly, the complex dynamics of influence.""-Alan Golding, University of LouisvilleMore details
