Since the publication of his Yale Series winning first book, Some Trees, over fifty years ago, John Ashbery's influence has been everywhere apparent in American poetry. In this, his 80th year, six diverse poets come together to speak toward an understanding and celebration of John Ashbery's singular achievement and genius.
