The Poet's View -- John Ashbery

John Ashbery is a fascinating man and his poetry never ceases to surprise, delight, and confuse me. All the makings of a great poet, in my opinion. My DVD of The Poet's View is in the mail and I'm shaky with anticipation. Breathe, Greg, breathe...

The Poet's View offers an up-close look into the day-to-day life of a number of poets, including Kay Ryan (the newly appointed US Poet Laureate), Louise Gluck, and W.W. Merwin.
