A. R. Ammons 
Uplands: New Poems [EPUB ebook] 

This book collects many of the poems that A. R. Ammons wrote between 1964 and 1970. The poems here include brief lyrics and such longer works as ‘Summer Session 1968’ and ‘Guitar Recicativos.’

The critic Harold Bloom writes, ‘With the publication of his
Selected Poems (1968), soon after turning forty, A. R. Ammons quietly demonstrated a unique and central position in recent American poetry. . . . Recognition, as is always the case with a poetry difficult and central, has come slowly, but critics now begin to see in Ammons what he is: the maker of a body of poetry that fulfills Emerson’s prophecy by addressing itself to life ‘with sufficient plainness and with sufficient profoundness.”
