Summary

Description
English: An ad for the book Three Poems (1972) by John Ashbery. Published in the June 1972 issue of the American literary magazine Poetry. The ad features a black-and-white photo portrait of the author, along with this blurb:
"Poems in prose': prose poetry If you read contemporary poetry, you've read John Ashbery. But you've never read him as he presents himself in Three Poems. To state it simply, he has created what amounts to a new literary form. The book is, according to John Hollander, 'a meditational masterpiece.' Harold Bloom writes, 'It can stand near Rilke's Malte as a visionary achievement.' One additional word from the publisher: even if you don't ordinarily read poetry but enjoy outstanding prose, turn to page one of John Ashbery's Three Poems. $5.95 in cloth, and $2.25 in paper. THE VIKING PRESS"
