15 reviews for Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror

  1. Pratibha Verma

    Unique voice, though the themes became repetitive by the book’s end. Still a worthwhile journey through self-reflection.

  2. Rahul Pahuja

    Brilliant! Ashbery’s wordplay and imagery are stunning. It’s a book to savor and revisit. Highly recommended for poetry lovers.

  3. Himanshu Choudhary

    I was intrigued by the premise but struggled to connect with the poems on an emotional level. Intellectually stimulating, though.

  4. Raj Rishi

    I appreciated the attempt at something new, but it didn’t quite click with me. Some beautiful lines, though a bit too abstract.

  5. Prajwal Narendra Akhade

    Not what I expected. I found the poems too ambiguous and confusing. Perhaps it requires a deeper understanding of art history.

  6. Piyush Ojha

    A masterpiece! Ashbery’s genius shines through in every line. This is poetry that stays with you long after you’ve finished reading.

  7. Priyanshu Ranjan

    Ashbery’s poetry is like a puzzle, challenging and ultimately satisfying. A must-read for those who appreciate complexity.

  8. Pradyot Sharma

    I wanted to love it, given the awards, but found it dense and inaccessible. Maybe it’s just not for me. Beautiful language, though.

  9. Kapil Yadav

    An insightful and thought-provoking collection. Ashbery’s exploration of art and self is both profound and moving. Highly recommended.

  10. Lavish Ahuja

    I found it difficult to understand at times, but the sheer beauty of the language kept me engaged. A rewarding challenge.

  11. Arpita Tripathi

    Some poems were great, while others didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Overall, a good collection with moments of brilliance.

  12. Abhishek Kumar

    An interesting exploration of consciousness. Sometimes felt a bit too abstract. Still, worth the effort for its unique perspective.

  13. Prasanta Basak

    Ashbery’s style is definitely unique. Some poems resonated, others left me scratching my head. A thought-provoking, if sometimes confusing, read.

  14. Sahitya Narvariya

    I enjoyed the different interpretations possible within each poem, offering a glimpse into our own perception.

  15. Pranab Mehrishi

    A challenging but ultimately rewarding collection. Ashbery’s insights into art and the self are profound. Requires patience and multiple readings.
