In popular critical and readerly reception, the New York School of poetry was shaped mostly by what Marjorie Perloff calls the tradition of indeterminacy. This was started by Arthur Rimbaud and, a few decades later, developed by Dadaists and Surrealists. Therefore, the tradition of French modernism seems to have been vital for John Ashbery, Frank O’Hara, James Schuler, and Barbara Guest, and the poets themselves appeared to confirm this fact. They often visited France privately and as scholars, and lived there for extended periods of time. In the case of John Ashbery, his year-long Fulbright fellowship was prolonged to a decade. Moreover, the New York School poets contributed to the propagation of French literature, being translators, critics and editors of French authors. However, as John Ashbery’s late works prove, literary genealogies are far more complex. German Romantic tradition always exerted an important influence on John Ashbery, and it inspired the New York experimenter to contribute two major poems to the twenty-first century American literature: “Where Shall I Wander” and “Hölderlin Marginalia”.

The article discusses the immanent poetics of Elizabeth Bishop reconstructed the poet and critic Stanisław Barańczak, the translator of the Polish selection of her 33 wiersze [33 Poems] (1995). The reconstruction produced by Barańczak highlights the resemblance between Bishop’s poetics and his own – poetic constructivism, precision, the mastery of form – therefore confronting his essay on Bishop from 33 wiersze with an interpretative sketch by Andrzej Sosnowski, also a poet, literary critic and Bishop’s translator, seems all the more engaging. For his part, Sosnowski searches Bishop’s poetry for categories akin to the admired poetics of John Ashbery (and also to his own), pointing at her specific phonostylistics and ungraspable flow of meanings. The text is complemented by analyses and interpretations of Bishop's The Fish and At the Fishhouses in the original and Polish translations by Barańczak and Sosnowski.
