Mark Ford with John Ashbery | 92Y Readings

John Ashbery, who began his career as a young winner of our Discovery Poetry Contest, returns to read from Quick Question, his latest collection of shrewd and playful poems. A book of translations of French writers including Mallarmé, Rimbaud and Roussel is forthcoming. He is introduced by Eugene Richie.

Acclaimed English poet Mark Ford (whom critic Helen Vendler once compared to Ashbery), reads from his Selected Poems, a diverse compilation that celebrates the mythic in the everyday.
