*Collected Poems 1956-1987*, from Library of America, reviewed here:

http://features.csmonitor.com/books/2008/12/06/ashbery-collected- 
poems-1956-1987/#more-1003

I note that there are 90 previously uncollected poems included in  
this edition, a good book's worth of material unavailable elsewhere  
to tempt those who already have most of the books.  Browsing at a  
bookstore the other day I also noted that the *Vermont Notebook*, a  
book I'd only heard of, is included in its entirety.

A second volume is projected.  Don't know if they'll wait for  
Ashbery's death to issue it.  He's in his 80s now, but still pumping  
out books at a great rate, last I checked.
