Glare
19 August 1998
Description
"Glare is a high-energy, relentlessly self-aware collision with the whole of life."—Albert Mobilio, Salon
A superb long poem by the contemporary master of the form, Glare comprises two sections, "Strip" and "Scat Scan." The poem demonstrates, yet again, why A. R. Ammons's poetic voice is a national treasure: by turns cosmic, self-inflating, self-deflating, eloquent, intimate, bawdy, comic, precise—and always unmistakably his own.
