"At North Farm" is a poem by American poet and writer John Ashbery. History and writingThe poem first appeared in The New Yorker in 1984.[1] It was the opening poem of Ashbery's 1984 collection The Wave.[2] It was written soon after Ashbery almost died due to an infection.[3] The poem is in part a reference to the epic poem Kalevala, which Ashbery revisited in his later poem "Finnish Rhapsody".[4] ContentCompositionThe poem loosely adheres to the form of a sonnet, with the traditional fourteen lines and the octet/seste of a Petrarchan sonnet.[5] Adhering to the format was not intentional on Ashbery's part.[5] ThemesIn her review of A Wave, Helen Vendler wrote that the poem deals with the pains of aging using clichés.[6] Allusions and influencesThe poem is evocative of W. H. Auden's work.[7] Auden had an influence on Ashbery early poetry, an influence that diminished over the course of his career. ReceptionAlthough shorter and simpler than many of his most famous works, it is considered to be a well-known poem of Ashbery's.[4] External links
