A Great Place to Start

Ammons passed away recently, leaving behind a great body of work. This volume is one of, if not the, best example of his short lyrics. His word-play reflects a deep respect and understanding of the word as well as nature. The publishers chose a great book to republish in honor of his death.

In the Poetry of A. R. Ammons, Helen Vendler has written, "the scientific world is beautifully in balance with the perceptual one". Originally published in 1982, this collection reminds us why Ammons must be read by all those who would understand our age and one of its most brilliant voices.
