Parmigianino’s Self Portrait in a Convex Mirror (c. 1524)
John Ashbery will not read his celebrated long poem "Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror" this evening (April 15, 2008) at 6:30 at the New School (Wollman Auditorium, 66 West 12 Street, near the SE corner of Twelfth Street and Sixth Avenue in New York City). But he will read recent work, including poems from Notes from the Air: Selected Longer Poems and A Worldly Country and maybe — who knows — even newer poems, poems too new for any book. And a page or two from his new translation of Pierre Reverdy’s Haunted House. Get there early. Seats will be scarce.
