EDITOR' NOTE. Perhaps someones out there knows about VN and Ashberry. I
don't recall any VN ref to AShberry and Boyd doesn't mention him. The 1959
Poems will be hard to find. _Collected Poems_--I don't recall. The lectures
on _Ulysses_ are included in one of the three volumes of _Lectures_. There
is not separate volume.

Greetings, fellow Nabokovians!
I've been subscribed to this list for a number of days (weeks?) now and
have yet to see a message from anyone. In any event, perhaps you can help
me.
First of all, I'm looking for a copy at reasonable cost, of N.'s "Poems"
(1959); "Poems and problems" (?); and, didn't he publish an edition called
"Collected Poems"? Second, what ever happened to "Lectures on Ulysses"?
I'd very much like to have (again, at reasonable cost) a copy of this as
well. It's difficult to understand why these books, from an author whose
status and popularity continue to grow, are not in print.
And last, I recall reading somewhere N. offering the opinion that John
Ashbery was perhaps the finest living poet writing in English - or did I
dream that? Could anyone provide a citation - for the quote that is, not
the dream.
Thank you,
Doug Thacker
