"""Self Portrait in a Convex Mirror, John Ashbery  Ashbery is one of the all-time greats. This collection, which won the Pulitzer, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1976, is also likely his most beloved, and for good reason. This is an astounding work, imaginative, strange, funny, experimental, flexible, and deft beyond belief. Ashbery once said that his goal was """"to produce a poem that the critic cannot even talk about."""""""
