John Ashbery

1927-07-28 — 2017-09-03 · Rochester

John Ashbery was one of the most influential American poets of the second half of the 20th century, known for his challenging and innovative poetry. His work explores the nature of language, consciousness, and reality, often through lengthy, stream-of-consciousness poems. Ashbery demonstrated a remarkable ability to blend the colloquial with the sublime, the personal with the impersonal, creating a unique style that defies easy categorization. He was also a respected literary critic and teacher, leaving a lasting legacy on contemporary poetry.
