- John Ashbery poem: The Burden of the Park
- Marjorie Perloff: Normalizing John Ashbery
- John Tranter: Interview with John Ashbery, April 1985:
“I’ve never really cared for ‘Self-Portrait’ very much, and I must say I didn’t like it any more when I reread it. But I obviously had to put it in because people would expect it to be there.”
- John Tranter: Interview with John Ashbery, May 1988: “It seemed to me that my [first] book had fallen into a bottomless pit, and that I would never have another chance to publish another book of poems.”
- John Tranter: Three John Ashberys: An Introduction
Bob Perelman’s
The Marginalization of Poetry
“The notable shifting between designations of period, movement, location and practice... again indicates Perelman’s desire to forestall or only partially engage the deictic complexities of classification and orientation by invoking both paratactic equivalence and the hypotactic narrative force of historical sequence.”

Thank-you notice: The first twelve issues of Jacket were coded by me, the editor, John Tranter, using clumsy old HTML. Some kind Code Samaritans have offered their assistance free of charge to re-code the magazine in XHTML, the current standard for coding Web pages. Jacket 2 was re-coded by India Amos. Many thanks!
