Assesses John Ashbery's career as a poet in the context of changes in 20th-century aesthetics, the rise of the information age, and the proliferation of aural and visual stimuli. This book addresses Ashbery's many roles - as theorist, postmodern metaphysical, and enemy of poetic decorum; and his use of stream-of-consciousness as a poetic strategy.
