btw shouldn't the first sentence say that ashbery is a modern poet or something to that effect the omission of this and the use of a picture of him in jacket and tie behind a podium gives the strong impression that the reader is to think that ashbery is definitely old gard when that is not at all the case and what about he was graduated from harvard as if it happened with merely his passive participation we don't speak that way and neither did ashbery how far back would you have to go to find a serious usage like that
