About April Galleons
Product Description Poems consider the imagination, weather, the seasons, memories of school, and the condition of the world From Library Journal From unlikely beginnings ("Song of the Windshield Wiper," "Alone in the Lumber Business," etc.) Ashbery's elusive, astonishingly inventive poems spring. In this first volume since Selected Poems ( LJ 1/86), his seamless style allows a rich assemblage of voices to move nimbly between high comedy and low, among fable, memory, and meditation. Youthful experience is contrasted with a life in late middle age" . . . afraid to retrace steps/ To the past that was only recently ours,/. . . O in all your life were you ever teased/ Like this, and it became your mind?"and while change remains a major theme, life rather than art becomes central. Robert Hudzik, P.L. of Cincinnati & Hamilton Cty.Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
