A review by tcmreads
And the Stars Were Shining by John Ashbery

2.0

maybe it was just me, but a lot of this felt like nonsense, and not the whimsical fun kind.
so many lines seems completely random and separate from the rest of the poem, like it was only added to make it feel obscure and niche. it just wasn’t for me.

it took me over a week to read this because i just couldn’t get into it
