This study by Elisabeth W. Joyce, which uses phenomenology in the way Ashbery uses a houseboat (sturdy, yet never still), allows the poetry to move. Joyce is a marvelous guide to Ashbery's work, tracing it line by line as it unspools into the future, that time when we find ourselves reading it with her." -Susan M. Schultz, author of A Poetics of Impasse in Modern and Contemporary American Poetry
