DESCRIPTION:Karin Roffman will give a Brown Bag Lunch presentation\non Mond
 ay\, September 16\, at 12:15 pm. Her talk is entitled\, ''John\nAshbery’s 
 Nest': A Poet and Collector in His Hudson Home.'\n\nRoffman will be\nprese
 nting her project\, “John Ashbery’s Nest\,” a website centered on a virtua
 l\ntour of the 14-room Victorian home of American poet\, collagist\, art c
 ritic\, and\ncollector John Ashbery (1927-2017). Highlighting 232 objects\
 , the site provides\na unique opportunity not only to see the art\, object
 s\, books\, and furniture in\nthis house—the only home Ashbery has ever ow
 ned—but also to hear the\npoet read from related poems and talk about the 
 provenance and resonance that\nthese things\, including the space itself\,
  have played in his creative life.\nIdeally a visit to the interior of the
  (virtual) house makes one want to return\nto the interior life of the poe
 ms and vice versa\, each illuminating the other.Karin Roffman’s The Songs 
 We Know Best: John\nAshbery’s Early Life (FSG\, 2017)—the first biography 
 of American poet\,\nart critic and collegiate John Ashbery (1927-2017)—was
  chosen as a New York\nTimes notable book of 2017. Her first book\, Americ
 an Women Writers in\nMuseums and Libraries (University of Alabama Press\, 
 2010)\, won the\nElizabeth Agee American Literature manuscript prize. She 
 has published essays\non art and literature in Modern Fiction Studies\, Ra
 in Taxi\, Chicago\nReview\, Yale Review\, Raritan\, Artforum\, and\nothers
 . Her full biographies of poet John Ashbery and the painter Jane\nFreilich
 er are forthcoming. She is currently the Associate Director of Public\nHum
 anities and a senior lecturer in Humanities at Yale.
