1.Leaves of Grass: The Death-Bed Edition (Modern Library Classics)Leaves of Grass: The "Death-Bed" Edition (Modern Library Classics)
from Modern Library
Price: $11.86

Customer Review:
4 1/2 stars, really, but we can't do that. This is the original 1855 version. Whitman added to the collection throughout his life, ending up with an overstuffed and very uneven "deathbed" version, which is better known. There are some good poems in it which aren't in the original, such as When... more info

Good if you like long poems, but Ashbery has some shorter poems that are just as respectable. Good compilation though.

5.The Mooring Of Starting OutThe Mooring Of Starting Out
from Ecco
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
Reviewing John Ashbery is a somewhat daunting prospect - but, then again, at one time I found just reading his poetry an equally intimidating proposal. Since you might be facing the latter situation, let me describe why I think this book, "The Mooring of Starting Out", is a particularly worthwhile... more info

from Ecco
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
A Worldly Country, John Ashbery's new book of poems is rich with descriptive images which take the reader into unfamiliar territory in familiar surroundings. True to form, the language Ashbery employs is complex, and delicious, luring the reader in and caressing their intellect. Ashbery interlaces... more info

8.Girls on the Run: A PoemGirls on the Run: A Poem
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Customer Review:
Predictable surprises -- and a few unpredictable ones -- inhabit this volume, a single long poem loosely based on the illustrations of Henry Darger. There are chuckleworthy phrases that rattle about the brain with a happy insouciance for several days after one has read the thing. "The oxymoron gets... more info

Price: $11.86

Customer Review:
John Ashbery, The Tennis Court Oath (Wesleyan, 1962)

Reading Ashbery's The Tennis Court Oath probably doesn't rank high on the list of many people's favorite things to do. But reading it while you've immersed yourself in a glut of Charles Simic is an especially bad idea. Simic is the... more info

10.Other Traditions (The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures)Other Traditions (The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures)
from Harvard University Press
Price: $14.95

Customer Review:
This book is much smaller than I thought it would be, but this only enhances its gem-like charm; from its rich cover to its finely homespun interior. I thought at first I had heard it all before from Ashbery, in his short Schubert and Roussel essays, and in comments dropped in Reported Sightings;... more info
