5.0 out of 5 stars Precise observation of nature, May 24, 2000
By 
Gary Sprandel (Frankfort, Kentucky) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Selected Poems (Expanded Edition) (Paperback)
Published in 1987, this book contains page-length poems selected by the author. You don't read these poems to get a story line, but rather a feeling of place. With Ammons its the precise observation of nature "Bees stopped on the rock", or a "Snow log". There are also mirrors of the self, "of a life that did become" in the poem Easter morning. In some ways, he is a modern Transcendentalist, looking at nature, observing carefully, and looking even deeper. I recommend this book to anyone, and its a good introduction to Ammons.
