Considering the Radiance: Essays on the Poetry of A. R. Ammons

Considering the Radiance: Essays on the Poetry of A. R. Ammons

â€œA. R. Ammons has exploded into the company of American poets that includes Whitman and Emerson and articulates the major impulse of the national expression: the paradox of poetry as process and yet impediment to process.â€
This intimate collection of essays addressed to the common reader pays tribute to one of the twentieth centuryâ€™s major poets. Encompassing every phase of A. R. Ammonsâ€™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.
