John Ashbery Quotes

I don’t find any direct statements in life. My poetry imitates or reproduces the way knowledge or awareness come to me, which is by fits and starts and by indirection. I don’t think poetry arranged in neat patterns would reflect that situation. My poetry is disjunct, but then so is life Picture Quote #1

Reading is a pleasure, but to finish reading, to come to the blank space at the end, is also a pleasure Picture Quote #1

I don’t look on poetry as closed works. I feel they’re going on all the time in my head and I occasionally snip off a length Picture Quote #1

I think that in the process of writing, all kinds of unexpected things happen that shift the poet away from his plan and that these accidents are really what we mean when we talk about poetry Picture Quote #1
