Interview With John Ashbery

A short interview with John Ashbery from The Boston Globe.

Q.
Why is poetry important?

A.
Its beauty is its impracticality. It's also a way of connecting with our lives in a way which I don't see any way of doing otherwise. It's not only the daily emotional life but also the life of our dreams.
