Synopsis
This is Ashbery's sixteenth collection of poetry. With the exception of the title work--which Harold Bloom has called "(Ashbery's) most beautiful long poem yet"---the fifty-eight poems in this collection are mostly short, displaying in their relative brevity all the valiant wit and rich lyric intensity that readers know from Ashbery longer works.

Industry Reviews
"[This] is Mr. Ashbery's 16th collection: 58 shining new lyrics. We've come to expect the dazzle, the deadpan shifts from speed to languor, the jocular abutments of idiom, the teeming fluidities of tone. Much of the fun derives from the poet's affable penchant for verbal slumming...This is serious fun, of course...The key to [Ashbery's] remarkable career appears to be a genuine capaciousness of spirit: learning without pedantry, copiousness without glut, facetiousness without the sneer; gifts to thank our lucky stars for."
New York Times Book Review - Linda Gregerson (10/23/1994)
