A. R. Ammons 
Glare [EPUB ebook] 

‘Glare is a high-energy, relentlessly self-aware collision with the whole of life.’—Albert Mobilio, Salon

A superb long poem by the contemporary master of the form,
Glare comprises two sections, ‘Strip’ and ‘Scat Scan.’ The poem demonstrates, yet again, why A. R. Ammons’s poetic voice is a national treasure: by turns cosmic, self-inflating, self-deflating, eloquent, intimate, bawdy, comic, precise—and always unmistakably his own.
