Widely considered the most important poet in America today, John Ashbery creates collage both in his poetry and as visual art. This beautiful volume features Ashberys collage work in both media.John Ashbery is known foremost as a poet, but he has been creating collages for nearly as long as hes been writing poetry. He began working in the medium when he was an undergraduate at Harvard, more than seventy years ago. Now, for the first time ever, this volume compiles a comprehensive selection of Ashberys collage work, accompanied by a selection of collagerelated poems. Like his poetry, Ashberys collage work combines art historical and pop culture references, creating often humorous juxtapositions.Ashberys approach to poetry and collage is quite similar and here, in an extensive interview with poet, critic, and longtime friend John Yau, Ashbery delves into his creative process and the parallels between creating in the two media.The subtitle They Knew What They Wanted is taken from one of Ashberys collagepoems, which is featured in this volume along with many others. With about seventyfive collages, exploring how Ashberys visual art has evolved over the years, this book is a musthave for the many lovers of Ashberys poetry, and for all those wishing to learn more about his creative output.
