Presentation copy, inscribed by the poet on the title page, "To Albert Raman, John Ashbery." Fine in a fine dust jacket. From the library of noted book collector Albert Raman.
Considered the most influential poet of his time, American poet John Ashbery published more than 20 volumes of poetry and won nearly every major American award for poetry throughout his career, including a Pulitzer Prize in 1976 for his collection Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror.
