A. R. Ammon's book of poetry, "Tape for the Turn of the Year" was first published by Cornell University Press. This 1972 edition was published by agreement with Cornell by W. W. Norton in the Norton Library. It is the First Paperback Edition, with number line to that effect. It's an unusual work; on the rear cover of the book is a quote from a review by Harold Bloom : "A. R Ammons originally wrote this long, thin poem - a journal of the period December 6, 1963 to January 10, 1964 - on a roll of adding-machine tape, then transferred it foot by dogged foot to transcript. This, the most surprising formal invention of a major innovator, is the fullest vision Ammons gives us of his enormous creative enterprise. Among the major descendants of Whitman's 'Song of Myself', 'Tape' occupies an essential imaginative space, showing us much about what is essential in the American poetic Imagination."
