Uplands New Poems Author:A. R. Ammons Published in 1970, this book collects many of the poems that A. R. Ammons had written since 1964. The poems here include brief lyrics and such longer works as "Summer Sesion 1968" and "Guitar Recitativos." — The critic Harold Bloom writes, "A. R. Ammons quietly demonstrates a unique and central position in recent American poetry...Recognition, as... more » is always the case with a poetry difficult and central, has come slowly, but critics bow 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.'"« less
