‘No contemporary poet, in America, is likelier to become a classic than A. R. Ammons.’—Harold Bloom
With characteristic economy, A. R. Ammons writes that ‘Brink Road lies off NY 96 between Candor and Catatonk.’ The very name suggests that we are ever in transition from one state of mind to another always on the edge of revelation.The more than 150 poems in
Brink Road date from 1973 to the present, dealing with Ammons’s concerns with language, mortality, and the forces underlying the natural world. With elegance, wit, and ruminative gravity,
Brink Road is an important addition to one of the most enduring bodies of poetry of our time.
