I know I'm coming late to this video - I saw your 'H. Bloom reciting W. Stevens...' & took a quick look at what else you had uploaded (I'm a Bloom worshipper) - I was happy to see Ashbery on the list (I'm also an Ashbery worshipper) - I'm pretty familiar w/Soonest Mended, & your read impressed me - so smooth & clear, I can tell you own the feel - I'd say this is as good a reading as Ashbery himself gives (I've heard him much). Am I gushing? well - good things deserve praise.

Borrowed from the clerk at my favorite Mini Mart, I am half ashamed to say. Sad that he is no less obscure.

Out there....some person reading Ashbery, not freezing, thanks entirely to the tireless molecules of his scarf, to all the roaring tribes inside it, soon to be finally atomized and sent, by the Grand Equilibriator Himself, deeper into the grain of the fading hunting lodge, however once corrupt.
