At the age of nine, John Ashbery saw a spread in Life Magazine on an exhibition of Fantastic Art, Dada, and Surrealism. He later said, “Those images made me want to be a Surrealist.”
This evening Gregg Ellis will read from his new book of translations of Soupault’s poems and prose. Eric Longo and Mark Dow will complement the readings with excerpts of the original French texts and a selection of Ashbery’s more “surrealistic” poems.

Did you know that any of the lines in quotes from "The Flow of the Poem's Display of Itself" are taken from John Ashbery’s Flow Chart or occasionally
some of his prose writings, or other poetry?

The Flow Chart Foundation in collaboration with Roof Books is proud to present a reading and panel discussion of Carrie Hunter’s The Flow of the Poem’s Display of Itself. Hunter’s book channels John Ashbery’s seminal long poem Flow Chart revealing an extended reflection on influence, community, and what it means to spend one’s life reading and writing poetry.
Hunter’s reading from her book at the historic Flow Chart Space will be followed by a panel discussion on Flow Chart and poetry communities in the NY School and the Bay Area by Hunter, Marcella Durand, and Ann Lauterbach with an introduction by Roof publisher James Sherry.
