The Best American Poetry 2008 - John Ashbery
John Ashbery, from The Best American Poetry 2008 reading in NYC last week:
“Pavane pour Helen Twelvetrees”
John Ashbery
John Ashbery reading “In the Book of the Disappearing Book” by John Gallaher
The poets reading at the 2008 BAP event also read another poem from the anthology, so imagine my surprise and honor when I saw this clip. I’ve been following Ashbery’s work with pleasure and excitement for well over 20 years. I’m so bouncy about this I can barely stand myself.
I must sit down now.

That is so cool. Bounce around a bit more!
That's really cool.
Mary posteed the vid to facebook. I watched it and thought how cool for you! That certainly is something to take with you.
It's hard to imagine a higher honor than Ashbery reading from your book. Congrats!
HOLY CATS! That's so awesome!
Hey, thank you all for that. It was kinda freaky. I had a difficult time listening to it at first, but I got over it. Ahem.
It's so odd hearing someone else read a poem of mine. I've never had that happen before.
John! Jeeezuz, that's so cool. Way to go, pal!
