Synopsis

"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. Beginning with his visionary 1955 debut, Ommateum with Doxology, Volume I follows Ammons's development through his National Book Award winning Collected Poems 1951 1971 and his daring work of the 1970s. Here are many of Ammons's most widely celebrated poems, such as "Corsons Inlet," "Gravelly Run" and "The City Limits."

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).
