Item Number: 110447

New York: Viking Penguin Inc, 1987.

First edition of Ashbery’s twelfth collection of poems. Octavo, original cloth. Singed by John Ashbery on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket.

Considered the most influential poet of his time, American poet John Ashbery published more than 20 volumes of poetry and won nearly every major American award for poetry throughout his career, including a Pulitzer Prize in 1976 for his collection Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror. In April Galleons, Ashbery combines the lyrical directness of A Wave with the baroque richness of language found in such earlier Ashbery masterpieces as Houseboat Days and The Tennis Court Oath.
