19,35 €

Meditative, comic, emotionally wrenching, steeped in both the natural world and the life of the mind, the poetry of A. R. Ammons is at once cosmic in scope and intimate in its moment-to-moment transformations. With his mastery of description and cadence, his roiling wit and fearless gaze, Ammons was a philosopher of the everyday who found surprise everywhere he looked. &ldquo He is often witty, sometimes bawdy,&rdquo writes editor David Lehman, &ldquo on a perpetual quest to find forms capacious enough for an imagination intent on finding a place for everything.&rdquo A compound, in editor David Lehman&rsquo s words, of &ldquo wisdom, pathos, humor, mortal longing, and intimations of immortality,&rdquo the work of A. R. Ammons is like nothing else in modern American poetry. Ammons&rsquo s tireless formal invention and restless curiosity about every aspect of nature and of the mind are embodied in poetry that is effortlessly accessible and generous in its impulses. Whether spreading out in the long forms of Tape for the Turn of the Year or Garbage, or honing his perceptions down to the extreme brevity of his shorter lyrics, he holds tight to his vision of the way &ldquo all day / life itself is bending, / weaving, changing, / adapting, failing, / succeeding.&rdquo This new selection covering the whole range of Ammons&rsquo s career offers a superb introduction to the pleasures and surprises of his work. His uncanny ability to balance wide-ranging abstract speculation with meticulous observation of natural phenomena, in poetry that encompasses moods of tragic pathos, low comedy, and seemingly casual profundity marks him as one of the preeminent figures in our recent literature. About the American Poets Project Elegantly designed in compact editions, printed on acid-free paper, and textually authoritative, the American Poets Project makes available the full range of the American poetic accomplishment, selected and introduced by today&rsquo s most discerning poets and critics.
