5.0 out of 5 stars I do not hate the celery stick, March 25, 2005
By 
Eddie Watkins (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Selected Prose (Poets on Poetry) (Hardcover)
Mr. Ashbery's prose is both crisp and pliable, like a spaghetti noodle half-submerged in boiling water, sticking above the rim of the pot like a flag-pole in an imaginary country whose flag has not yet been sewn together, or is off being mended.

Like Reported Sightings this book can lead the curious reader down many meandering paths of discovery that go off far beyond the book itself until it is little more than a bright little beacon in the distance assuring you that everything is still OK.

Footnote: Much of this review was inspired by a review that has now been removed. Apparently the author of said review mistook my comic riffs for downright mockery.
