- Copyright Acknowledgements List of Abbreviations Preface Introduction: The New York School of Poets James Schuyler and the Rhetoric of Temporality Frank O'Hara: Accident and Design Ashbery and Influence Lyric Poets in the Era of Late Capitalism Postscript: Going Around Cities Post-Postscript: The New York School at the Millennium Notes Bibliography Index.
- 'By a wonderful irony - an irony John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, and James Schuyler would surely have appreciated - the best overview of the New York School of Poets was written by a British poet-critic then living in Liverpool. Geoff Ward's superb close readings of individual poems is everywhere informed by stringent cultural and political commentary. In this new edition, Ward adds a postscript on the legacy of New York poetry, especially in the lyric of the women poets, Barbara Guest and Marjorie Welish, he surveys Ashbery's recent oeuvre, and he revises his earlier estimates of the key influences on his poets. This is a genuinely CRITICAL book, one that no one interested in postwar American poetry will want to miss.' - Marjorie Perloff, Professor of English, Stanford University 'Geoff Ward offers astute readings of several of the most engaging, original, and socially cogent American poets of the past half-century. Statutes of Liberty: The New York School of Poets is a richly detailed and thoughtful account of the contexts and practices of a writing whose ability to reinvent its forms has made it invaluable to the present and future of poetry in English.'- Charles Bernstein, Director, Poetics Program, SUNY-Buffalo '...gives voice to a lively, combative personality through the characterizations and judgements it renders.' - Stephen Freedman, American Literature.
