Considering the Radiance: Essays on the Poetry of A.R. AmmonsDavid Burak, Roger Gilbert This intimate collection of essays addressed to the common reader pays tribute to one of the twentieth century s major poets. Encompassing every phase of A. R. Ammons s oeuvre, from his beginnings in the 1950s to his late masterpieces, Garbage and Glare, this book of essays explores the personal side of a poet often still seen as forbiddingly abstract and intellectual. Included are essays by Helen Vendler, Alice Fulton, Harold Bloom, and John Ashbery, among others." |
