Garbage by A.R. Ammons

emotional inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

I absolutely love A.R. Ammons. This was a great book-length poem about garbage. Yep. Garbage. But the beauty of Ammons is how he melds the divine and spiritual with the grounded reality surrounding us, especially nature. He plays with language here (words we use for garbage and describing garbage but which have other meanings). And there is beauty in every line Ammons writes.
