Garbage by A.R. Ammons

4.0

I still think maybe I prefer Ammons in his shorter, more honed forms, but his tape-unspooling run-on long poem style is singular (at least as far as my limited poetry-reading life allows me to judge), and the concept here is perfectly suited to his backporch Presocratic, self-deflating, and post-nuclear nature-poet ways. Just doesn't quite stick the landing, which is a risk of his off-the-cuff, (ostensibly) undesigned approach.
