The other collections gathered here—\u003ci\u003eHotel Lautréamont\u003c\/i\u003e (1992), \u003ci\u003eAnd the Stars Were Shining\u003c\/i\u003e (1994), \u003ci\u003eCan You Hear, Bird\u003c\/i\u003e (1995), \u003ci\u003eWakefulness \u003c\/i\u003e(1998), and \u003ci\u003eYour Name Here \u003c\/i\u003e(2000)—show Ashbery perfecting the playful, cerebral style that has made his poetry a genre unto itself, highly influential and often imitated.

The volume concludes with a selection of twenty-six previously uncollected poems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050579149040,"sku":"9781598535358","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781598535358_p0.jpg?v=1763812401","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781598535358","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
