"The flowers, trees, birds, clouds, and effects of light that Schuyler describes with such élan, even if only glimpsed from the window of his apartment, could easily be transposed to the poetry written in Japan or Persia many centuries ago. Even more, his culture and learning, worn so lightly as almost to pass unnoticed, link his verse to other and larger traditions, as in this reflection on Baudelaire – clearly intended as an artistic credo of sorts ..." - Open Letters Monthly

History & Criticism

In Selected Poems, we experience the full range of James Schuyler's achievement, confirming that he was among the late twentieth century's truly vital and distinctive poetic voices. One of the most significant writers of the New York School―which unofficially included John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, and Kenneth Koch, among others―Schuyler was strongly influenced by both art and music in his work, often incorporating rapid shifts in sound, shape, and color within his poems that almost gave his work the effect of a collage and engendered comparisons with Whitman and Rimbaud.

Selected Poems (FSG Classics)

A COLLECTION OF UNPUBLISHED POEMS FROM ONE OF THE MOST DISTINCTIVE POETIC VOICES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY of an evening real as paint on canvas. The kind that makes me ache to have the gift for dusting off clichés: not, make it new, but, see it, hear it, freshly. The context (good morrow, haven't we met in this context  before?) in which, squelch, a brush lifted a load of pigment from the thick glass palette, and, concentrated, as though he saw neither the work in hand nor the subject, the painter began. ―from "A Blue Shadow Painting" Other Flowers brings together 165 unseen poems from James Schuyler, one of the twentieth century's most acclaimed writers. This carefully arranged edition presents a broad range of Schuyler's work, spanning from the early 1950s until his death in 1991. These poems exhibit Schuyler's virtuosity in drawing from real life, interpersonal history, nature, and pop culture to create reverberant portraits of the everyday. To read these poems is to rediscover the fresh clarity and grandeur of even the smallest things. Other Flowers confirms Schuyler's status as one of the most important figures in contemporary poetics.
