  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;&quot;Reticent, shy, unfailingly modern, Ashbery is as unorthodox [as] any of the great twentieth-century creators: Breton, Stravinsky, Picasso,&quot; observed Jeremy Reed in Britain's &lt;i&gt;Poetry Review&lt;/i&gt;. &quot;We are privileged to be around at a time when he is writing.&quot; &lt;i&gt;Flow Chart&lt;/i&gt;, a book-length poem that first appeared in 1991, might be Ashbery's greatest creation: a staggering and exuberant &quot;torrent of invention [that] comes as close to an epic poem as our postmodern, nonlinear, deconstructed sensibilities will allow. . . . &quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>
