Editorial Review of Bosh and Flapdoodle: Poems


"No contemporary poet, in America, is likelier to become a classic than A. R. Ammons."—Harold Bloom

Bosh and Flapdoodle is A. R. Ammons's last completed collection of poetry. Written over a six-week period, the book offers a series of candid, alternately hilarious and heartbreaking ruminations on age, illness, and death, while still finding room for the poet's always penetrating observations of daily life and natural events.

Review Summary: One punctuation mark (:) fits all
Review: Recurring themes: the indignity of old age and disease, the meaning of life, the act of writing poetry, long-married life. Sometimes humorous; sometimes punny; sometimes over-reaching and demanding and more work than I'm willing to do. Ammons called this "prosetry," not poetry: Not completely accurate.
