“Most reckless things are beautiful in some way, and recklessness is what makes experimental art beautiful, just as religions are beautiful because of the strong possibilities that they are founded on nothing.”
― John Ashbery

“Somewhere someone is traveling furiously toward you,
At incredible speed, traveling day and night,
Through blizzards and desert heat, across torrents,
through narrow passes.
But will he know where to find you,
Recognize you when he sees you,
Give you the thing he has for you?”
― John Ashbery

“In the increasingly convincing darkness
The words become palpable, like a fruit
That is too beautiful to eat. ”

Hey John, thrilled to be in touch. My fuller review of Illuminations will be in the Brooklyn Rail in May.

Dear Mr. Ashbery, You are a well-known poet in Iran. Did you know that? I am proud of that you accepted my friend request. Thank you.
