Set in Motion : Essays, Interviews and Dialogues Paperback / softback
by A.R. Ammons
Part of the Poets on Poetry series
Paperback / softback
Description
Set in Motion collects for the first time the prose writings of A.
R. Ammons, one of our most important and enduring contemporary poets.
Hailed as a major force in American poetry by such redoubtable critics as Harold Bloom and Helen Vendler, Ammons has reflected upon the influences of luminaries like Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Frost, Stevens, and Williams while creating a compelling style and an artistic vision uniquely his own. Set in Motion includes essays, reviews, and interviews as well as a selection of Ammons's poems, with commentary from the author about their inspiration and effects.
He takes up the questions that have been central to American poetry over the last forty years and connects them to the larger enterprise of living in a difficult, changing world.
At a moment when the arts are under attack, Ammons reminds us of the crucial role poetry plays in teaching us to recognize and use sources of understanding that are irreducible to statement.
