Reviews
"From 'The Skaters' (1966) to 'A Wave' (1984), John Ashbery has produced a remarkable series of longer poems. But perhaps none is quite so various, so beautiful, and so new as Flow Chart, a very long poem that recalls Wordsworth's 'Prelude.'"--Marjorie Perloff, The New York Times Book Review "This is what real achievement in a contemporary poet consists of: he has laid down guidelines and made his mark on the language of the tribe."--John Bayley, The New York Review of Books "Flow Chart, Ashbery's magnum opus, is . . . the fullest demonstration to date of this poet's fascination with what Walter Pater described as 'that strange, perpetual weaving and unweaving of ourselves.' . . . [Ashbery] is likely to be seen as the defining voice of his nation and time."--Robert Crawford, Poetry Review (U.K.) Flow Chart is Ashbery at his most robust and determined."--Library Journal

Synopsis
"Reticent, shy, unfailingly modern, Ashbery is as unorthodox [as] any of the great twentieth-century creators: Breton, Stravinsky, Picasso," observed Jeremy Reed in Britain's Poetry Review. "We are privileged to be around at a time when he is writing." Flow Chart, a book-length poem that first appeared in 1991, might be Ashbery's greatest creation: a staggering and exuberant "torrent of invention [that] comes as close to an epic poem as our postmodern, nonlinear, deconstructed sensibilities will allow. . . . "

- v***v (2063)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
