A Conversation with Poet John Ashbery [US]:

Experimental poet John Ashbery won the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for his 1975 poem, "Self Portrait in a Convex Mirror." Since then, he's published more than 20 books of poetry. Ashbery, now 78, tells Scott Simon about his latest collection: Where Shall I Wander.

He reads "Interesting People of Newfoundland" and "You Spoke as a Child" (audio from NPR).

I heard this interview/reading on the local NPR station over breakfast this morning, and thought it was delightful. Now, perhaps, an Ashbery book I can understand, and enjoy?
