Editorial Review of The Selected Poems
Customer Reviews of The Selected Poems

Review Summary: Love Song
Review: I bought it for one poem: "Love Song". It is the best poem about love and lust that I have ever read.

Review Summary: Precise observation of nature
Review: Published in 1987, this book contains page-length poems selected by the author. You don't read these poems to get a story line, but rather a feeling of place. With Ammons its the precise observation of nature "Bees stopped on the rock", or a "Snow log". There are also mirrors of the self, "of a life that did become" in the poem Easter morning. In some ways, he is a modern Transcendentalist, looking at nature, observing carefully, and looking even deeper. I recommend this book to anyone, and its a good introduction to Ammons.
