A. R. Ammons 
Sumerian Vistas: Poems [EPUB ebook] 

Ammons’s poetic genius has always been at home in forms ranging from brief lyrics to longer works.

In the present volume—the first since his highly acclaimed
Lake Effect Country—readers will find superb examples of work in both forms. ‘The Ridge Farm, ‘ which begins the book, and ‘Tombstones, ‘ at its center, are fine longer meditations, while ‘Motion’s Holdings, ‘ the concluding section, contains a number of his best new shorter poems. The book is proof, once again, that Ammons is one of our major American poets.
