I'm grateful for the many responses, in email, here, at several other blogs, and at New Poetry, to my questions about the experience of reading John Ashbery. I am very glad that in that experience many intelligent, passionate, and articulate people have found joy, comfort, and exhilaration both intellectual and emotional. I have myself read several hundred pages of his poetry in the last week, but there is nothing I wish to say about it.
Tomorrow I'll finish up with line breaks, and I hope to post a new poem.
