A big image of Parmigianino's Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror.

Andrew Marvell's seventeenth-century poem "Tom May's Death," which begins "As one put drunk into the Packet-boat."

A selection of prose by John Ashbery now available online.

The Flow Chart Foundation's fascinating, and necessarily incomplete, catalog of other artists' later responses to Ashbery's works.

The French children's song about the famous bridge in Avingnon, and Walt Whitman's poem "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" (compare both to "Wet Casements").

What appears to be a licensed online video clip of the Warner Brothers cartoon "Daffy Duck in Hollywood," the basis for Ashbery's poem of the same name.

The Univ. of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Modern American Poetry site has, of course, a page of comments on Ashbery.

Meghan O'Rourke of Slate: How to read John Ashbery.

Images from New York painting during the 1950s: Robert Rauschenberg's Untitled (1955). Larry Rivers' The Accident (1957). Grace Hartigan's The Vendor (1956).

Some of the art-- high and otherwise-- inside Ashbery's house. (Scroll down for more art.)

On Locus Solus, the magazine Ashbery edited from Paris in the early 1960s.
