| Publisher Description: In the present volume--the first since his highly acclaimed Lake Effect Country--readers will find superb examples of work in both forms. The Ridge Farm, which begins the book, and Tombstones, at its center, are fine longer meditations, while Motion's Holdings, the concluding section, contains a number of his best new shorter poems. The book is proof, once again, that Ammons is one of our major American poets. |
