John Ashbery (born July 28, 1927) is an American poet. He has won nearly every major American award for poetry and is recognized as one of America's most important, though still controversial, poets. In an article on Elizabeth Bishop in his Selected Prose, he accurately characterizes himself as having been described as 'a surrealist poet whose poetry defies even the logic of surrealism'.
