Ashbery in 1975

The American poet John Ashbery (1927–2017) wrote more than 1,300 poems. Most were published in one of the 26 major books of poetry published during his lifetime.[note 1] There are numerous other uncollected poems, which appeared only in limited-edition books, periodicals like literary magazines, collaborative works, or elsewhere.

Ashbery wrote his first poem, "The Battle", in 1935 at the age of 8 and his final poem, "Climate Correction", in 2017 at the age of 90. Over the span of nine decades, he wrote prolifically and became one of the preeminent American poets of the 20th century. As of 2017, his poetry had been translated into 25 languages. Most of his poetry and other writings are catalogued online at the Ashbery Resource Center, a searchable site maintained by the Flow Chart Foundation, which is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to "explor[ing] the interrelationships of various art forms as guided by [his legacy] and promot[ing] engagement with his work."[1]

Scope of list[edit]

Selected Poems
(1967)
Notes from the Air: Selected Later Poems (2007)
The list below indicates whether a poem is included in any of Ashbery's books of selected poetry.

The list below is sorted chronologically by date of publication and divided into sections by decade. The following types of poems are included:

  • Collected poems – Most of Ashbery's poems were included in one of his books of poetry (see John Ashbery bibliography § Verse). These collected poems are grouped by the publication date and title of the collection in which they appear. The list provides each poem's first prior publication in a periodical or other book, if known. A collected poem is found within the decade and year of its poetry collection, which is not necessarily the year or decade that it was first published. For example, "To Redouté" was first published in the March 1957 issue of Poetry and collected in The Tennis Court Oath (1962); as such, it appears in the "1960s" section with The Tennis Court Oath, not the "1950s" section.
Some poems were included in both a limited-edition book and in one of Ashbery's major collections; when this occurs, the poem is listed with the major collection even if the limited-edition book was published earlier. For example, "Popular Songs" was included in the limited-edition chapbook Turandot and Other Poems (1953) and in Some Trees (1956), and so it is listed with Some Trees.
  • Uncollected poems – Uncollected poems have been published, typically by a literary magazine, but have not been included in any of Ashbery's poetry collections. These are sorted by their date of first publication. Many of these poems, especially those published in 2000 or earlier, can be found in the "Uncollected Poems" sections from the two volumes of Ashbery's poetry published by the Library of America.
A few uncollected poems are sorted by the year they were written rather than their date of publication. These include early poems that remained unpublished until they were included in the biography The Songs We Know Best: John Ashbery's Early Life (2017), written by Karin Roffman. For example, Ashbery's first-ever poem "The Battle" was written in 1935 but not formally published until it was included in The Songs We Know Best; it is sorted in the year 1935, even though it was not published until 2017.

The following poems are excluded from the list:

  • Unpublished poems – These include any poem known to exist but never published in a book, periodical, or any other text-based form. For example, Ashbery read an original poem entitled "Moon Song" during a reading at the San Francisco State University Poetry Center on May 16, 1973. A recording of the reading exists, but the text of "Moon Song" is otherwise absent from any of Ashbery's published work.[2] Because it has never been published, it is excluded from the list. Posthumously published poems are included in the list.
  • Duplicates and revisions – Ashbery republished a few poems, sometimes under a different title or with edits. Three poems that first appeared in And the Stars Were Shining (1994) were also included in Can You Hear, Bird (1995). A revised version of "The Shower", originally from The Tennis Court Oath, was included in As We Know (1979). To avoid duplicate entries for poems that are the same or essentially the same, only the first versions of republished poems are included.
Note that different poems that happen to share a title are not duplicates. For example, Planisphere (2009) contains two different poems titled "Episode", and Ashbery reused the titles "Quick Question", "Five O'Clock Shadow", and "By Guess and by Gosh" from Can You Hear, Bird for later poems.[note 2]
  • Translations – The list comprises Ashbery's original poems. His translations of others' poetry are excluded.

The list also indicates whether a poem is included in any of the three books of Ashbery's selected poetry:

  • Selected Poems (1967), a compilation of poems from 1956–1966;
  • Selected Poems (1985), covering 1956–1984;
  • and Notes from the Air: Selected Later Poems (2007), covering 1987–2005.

These collections of previously collected poems are analogous to "greatest hits" or "best of" compilations in popular music.[3]

Poems[edit]

1930s and 1940s[edit]

Ashbery wrote his first poem, "The Battle", in 1935 when he was eight years old.[4] It was circulated among friends and family with approval, and even reached the famed novelist Mary Roberts Rinehart in New York City.[5] As a teenager he had several poems published in the Deerfield Academy student newspaper, The Deerfield Scroll.[6]

Technically, Ashbery's first professional publication occurred after a classmate plagiarized two of his high-school poems. The classmate, William Haddock, submitted the stolen poems (along with some of his own originals) to Poetry under the pseudonym Joel Michael Symington. Ashbery's poems—but not Haddock's—were selected for publication and appeared in the November 1945 issue. Ashbery submitted the same poems and was rejected. When he discovered the plagiarism, he realized his submission made it seem like he was the plagiarist and feared that his literary career was over before it began.[7] Two years later, the same classmate plagiarized Ashbery's work again, this time submitting to a journal called Voices under his own name. Ashbery notified the magazine and it printed a retraction. During his years at Harvard, he contributed to The Harvard Advocate.

"Some Trees", which shares its name with his debut collection, is his only 1940s poem to be included in one of his books of poetry. However, several were later compiled in the "Uncollected Poems" section of Collected Poems: 1956–1987 (2008).[8] Some of his earliest poems—"The Battle" and two others from his childhood diary—were reproduced in Karin Roffman's biography The Songs We Know Best: John Ashbery's Early Life.

1950s[edit]

After Harvard, Ashbery moved to New York City as a graduate student of Columbia University, where he received a Master of Arts in English literature.[22] In 1950, "The Dolors of Columbine" appeared in Poetry New York and became Ashbery's first poem to appear in a professional, nonacademic literary magazine under his own name.[23] He made noteworthy contributions to several journals in the 1950s, including Partisan Review and Folder.[24]

His first two books of poetry—Turandot and Other Poems (1953) and Some Trees (1956)—were published in this decade. The Tibor de Nagy Gallery issued Turandot as a limited-edition chapbook featuring illustrations by Jane Freilicher.[25] Some Trees won the Yale Series of Younger Poets Competition and was published by Yale University Press with a foreword by the competition's judge, W. H. Auden.[26] All but two of the poems in Turandot are also found in Some Trees, which is now generally regarded as Ashbery's true debut.[27] Shortly before the publication of Some Trees, Ashbery received a grant from the Fulbright Program to study and teach in France. He moved in 1955 and, aside from occasional trips back home, lived in France until 1965.[22]

1960s[edit]

After Some Trees garnered a muted response from critics and paltry sales, Ashbery resigned himself to obscurity and his writing style developed in an inaccessible, experimental direction.[42] In 1961, Ashbery was identified as a member of the "New York School" of poets alongside Frank O'Hara, Barbara Guest, James Schuyler, and Kenneth Koch.[43] His work was often rejected from mainstream literary magazines, but found publication in avant-garde "little magazines".[42] He co-founded, edited, and contributed to the magazines Locus Solus (in 1960) and Art and Literature (in 1963).[26]

He published three poetry collections in the 1960s: The Poems (1960), The Tennis Court Oath (1962) and Rivers and Mountains (1966). The Poems was a limited-edition collaboration with the painter Joan Mitchell.[44] He wrote most of the poems in The Tennis Court Oath and several from Rivers and Mountains while living abroad in France, and many of these poems reflect his homesickness for America, feelings of disconnection from American English, and nostalgia for his childhood in rural New York.[45] The Tennis Court Oath divided critics upon its release and is still regarded as one of Ashbery's most challenging and experimental books of poetry.[46] He returned to New York City in the fall of 1965 and supported himself with a job editing ARTnews.[47] Although Rivers and Mountains was nominated for a National Book Award for Poetry, Ashbery remained pessimistic about his long-term prospects for a career in poetry.[48]

1970s[edit]

Ashbery's first two collections of the 1970s were The Double Dream of Spring (1970) and Three Poems (1972), the latter a collection of prose poetry that he considered his personal favorite of his own books.[68] In 1975 he released The Vermont Notebook, illustrated by Joe Brainard, and Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror, which proved to be his breakthrough. Self-Portrait was a major critical success and became the first and, to date, only book in any genre to receive the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award.[69] He closed out the decade with Houseboat Days (1977) and As We Know (1979).

1990s[edit]

318 poems from the 1990s.

40s–80s [482] + 318 = 800 poems

The 1990s were almost certainly Ashbery's most productive decade.[171] During this time, he published six books of poetry and 318 poems. Four of these books were collections—Hotel Lautréamont (1992), And the Stars Were Shining (1994), Can You Hear, Bird (1995), and Wakefulness (1998)—while the other two were book-length long poems—Flow Chart (1991) and Girls on the Run (1999). Running over 5,000 lines, Flow Chart is one of the longest poems ever written by an American.[172]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Counting the number of Ashbery's books of poetry is inherently subjective. His UK publisher Carcanet Press described Commotion of the Birds, the final collection published during Ashbery's lifetime, as his 27th book of poetry. His bibliography includes well over 27 books of poetry, counting works that were limited edition or collaborative. For purposes of this list, his 26 "major" works are counted as the 19 books found in the two volumes of his Collected Poems, which cover the years 1956–2000 beginning with Some Trees and ending with Your Name Here, along with the seven books published after Your Name Here by either Farrar, Straus and Giroux or Ecco Press. These 26 books contain 1,217 distinct poems. See John Ashbery bibliography.
  2. ^ a b c d e f g Ashbery reused several titles from Can You Hear, Bird (1995). The titles "Quick Question" and "Five O'Clock Shadow" were reused for Quick Question (2012), while "By Guess and by Gosh" was reused for Breezeway (2015). Despite the identical titles, they are completely different poems.
  3. ^ Kermani's 1976 bibliography notes that "Reversal" was unsigned and that Ashbery is "not sure that he wrote this poem."[11]
  4. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z aa ab ac ad ae af ag ah ai aj ak al am This poem was subsequently published in the "Uncollected Poems" section of Collected Poems: 1956–1987 (2008). See Ford 2008, pp. 1011–1013.
  5. ^ Technically, the undated issue of the Harvard Advocate in which "Waltz King" appeared was only labeled "Winter Issue". The scholar Michael John Landry noted that it was most likely published January–February 1948. See Londry 1997, p. 52.
  6. ^ Ashbery and Schuyler wrote "controls" (the title is purposely lowercase) on October 20, 1952, as a collage poem with pasted-together lines from newspaper and magazine articles. It was first published as the frontispiece to The Songs We Know Best: John Ashbery's Early Life (2017). It also appears in the collection They Knew What They Wanted: Poems and Collages (2018). See Roffman 2017, pp. ii, 213; Polizzotti 2018, p. 127.
  7. ^ a b c d e This is a limited-edition book.
  8. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z This poem was subsequently published in the "Uncollected Poems" section of Collected Poems: 1991–2000 (2017). See Ford 2017, pp. 789–790.
  9. ^ Issues of Semi-Colon were numbered but undated. Mark Ford has dated this issue "[1955?]" and "ca. 1954"; see Ford 1993, pp. 64–65, 80 and Ford 2017, p. 789.
  10. ^ The Ashbery Resource Center and Mark Ford's bibliography for Collected Poems 1956–1987 both indicate that the publication of The Poems may have been delayed until 1961, although it is not entirely clear.
  11. ^ a b c "The Shower" was first collected in The Tennis Court Oath (1962). An "extensively revised" version with the same title was also included in As We Know (1979). The uncollected poem "'Kannst du die alten Lieder noch Spielen?'" also incorporates the text of "The Shower". See Kermani et al. 2004.
  12. ^ "Train Poem" is attributed as a collaboration between Harwood and Ashbery in World, but it later appeared in a collection by Harwood without attribution to Ashbery. See the poem's entry in Kermani et al. 2004.
  13. ^ The Vermont Notebook was originally published in a limited edition. However, unlike Ashbery's other limited-edition books, it was included as its own section in one of the two volumes of his Collected Poems.
  14. ^ a b The Vermont Notebook is typically treated as a single long poem. It is divided into journal-like entries that are sometimes treated as distinct poems, but most of these have no titles and often there is no clear beginning or ending to mark these sections as distinct poems in their own right. An exception is "The Fairies' Song", which has a clear title, beginning, and ending, and is considered both a distinct poem and as part of The Vermont Notebook.
  15. ^ Despite the similar titles, "Problems [The things we do around the house]" (1976) and "Problems" (from A Wave, 1984) are different poems. See Kermani et al. 2004.
  16. ^ "Business Personals" was also published in the July–August 1977 issue of The American Poetry Review (Vol. 31, No. 1); see Ashbery 1977e, p. 48.
  17. ^ According to the Ashbery Resource Center, Sun & Moon Press published "Description of a Masque" in a periodical—Sun & Moon numbers 15–16—and in the book Contemporary American Fiction. See Kermani et al. 2004.
  18. ^ a b c d This is a book-length poem.
  19. ^ a b c d Three poems that first appeared in And the Stars Were Shining were later included in Can You Hear, Bird, two of them under alternate titles. They are "Sicilian Bird" (later "Andante Misterioso"), "A Waltz Dream" (later "A Heavenly Polka"), and "Like a Sentence". Ashbery requested that these poems only appear once in Completed Poems 1991–2000, grouped with And the Stars Were Shining and not Can You Hear, Bird (Ford 2017, p. 788). This list follows that model to avoid duplicate entries.
  20. ^ "Novel" was written in 1954 but remained unpublished until 1998. See Storey & Miller 2016.
  21. ^ a b Part of a collaboration with John Kinsella. Ashbery and Kinsella each wrote a poem in the style of Ern Malley, an Australian literary hoax. See Kermani et al. 2004.
  22. ^ "Because the Night" was planned for inclusion in Where Shall I Wander under the new title "A Holding Mode", but it was cut prior to publication. See Kermani et al. 2004.
  23. ^ "Climate Correction" is the final poem Ashbery wrote in his lifetime. He wrote it by hand on August 25, 2017, and died on September 3.
