"It's a rocking double-wide mobile home of electric American verse." International New York Times
A. R. Ammons produced some of the twentieth century's most innovative and enduring poetry, collected here for the first time in its entirety. The second volume rounds out Ammons's rich middle phase and startling later work, including the posthumously published book Bosh and Flapdoodle. This volume includes his 1981 collection A Coast of Trees, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award, as well as his National Book Award winning book-length poem Garbage.
The Complete Poems of A. R. Ammons offers authoritative texts of every published poem and includes over one hundred previously uncollected poems by "unquestionably among the best-loved poets of our time" (David Lehman).

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. "If you will sit with me in the light // of speech, I will sit with you. . . ." Readers who accept that invitation will find themselves in extraordinary company. The Complete Poems of A. R. Ammons, Volume II presents the second half of Archie Randolph Ammons's long career, including the complete texts of his two book-length poems from that period: Garbage, for which he won his second National Book Award, and Glare, which drew special praise from the Academy of American Poets as it bestowed on him its highest honor, the Wallace Stevens Award. In addition, two appendices offer over one hundred and twenty previously uncollected poems dating from the 1950s to the late 1990s. Among this volume's many highlights are celebrations of the natural world (such as "Hermit Lark" and "Lofty Calling"), poems of remembrance (as in "Chinaberry" and "Keeping Track"), prayers ("Singling & Doubling Together" and "Autonomy"), and compelling meditations on loss and mortality (such as "Easter Morning" and "In View of the Fact"). As in Volume I, the variety of scale is remarkable, ranging from the massiveness of Glare to the haiku-like brevity of "Pebble's Story." The text of each poem has been established after careful consideration of Ammons's manuscripts and other prepublication materials. Endnotes detail the poems' composition and publication histories, and also helpfully annotate references made within the poems. Celebrated poetry critic Helen Vendler's introduction both humanizes Ammons and traces the growth of his outsized stature as a major poet, "unquestionably among the best-loved poets of our time" (David Lehman). One of the great American poets . . . he sounds like nobody else.Helen Vendler This item is printed on demand.
