John Ashbery loved to recall long afternoons at his grandparents’ house in Rochester, reading The Book of Knowledge
The illustrations must have influenced his wonderful collages:
"To The City" (2016)
The Many Parts of a Great Ship of the Skies
Things to Make and Things to Do
Living Flowers of the Sea
Ashbery said he had much of the poetry memorized
The Way To Do The Crawl
