Many recordings he listened to feature contemporary classical works that emphasize complex textures, disparate sounds, and disjunct phrases--qualities which are mimicked in his poetry. In exploring this ekphrastic book project, the reader is invited to discover how, for Ashbery, these three forms might illuminate and inform one another"--
