Readers already familiar with Ammons's longer mode in other books will welcome this new collection, while those familiar only with the shorter poems will find their appreciation of his work both deepened and heightened. The Selected Poems: 1951-1977 was described by one critic as ?an indispensable book?; Selected Longer Poems is an indispensable companion to it.
The distinguished poet A. R. Ammons once described himself as, ?not so much looking for the shape as being available to any shape that may be summoning itself through me from the self not mine but ours.? This ?availability? has enabled his poetic genius to be at home in forms raging from brief lyrics?the best of which he brought together in The Selected Poems: 1951-1977?all the way to poems of full book length.Autorentext
