Poet yes, but also tale-teller and word-weaver.
Saddest is the realisation that had he lived he would not yet even be a hundred years upon this earth.

Jess Cotton's superb critical biography of John Ashbery, which I commissioned, is out in April and available for pre-order from Reaktion Books. Grateful for generous endorsements from Mark Ford and Jeremy Noel-Tod. #johnashbery #poetry #literature

tu saco de retratos

en la perdida luz

en perspectiva
la quietud
