Ammons (b. 1926) began writing poetry during WWII, has produced approximately thirty books of verse, teaches at Cornell University. His large, universal themes are balanced by rich, almost conversational language at times nearly intimate, at others ideosynchratic, even cranky. Please sign my guestbook Gravelly Run I don't know somehow it seems sufficient to see and hear whatever coming and going is, losing the self to the victory of stones and trees, of bending sandpit lakes, crescent round groves of dwarf pine: for it is not so much to know the self as to know it as it is known by galaxy and cedar cone, as if birth had never found it and death could never end it: the swamp's slow water comes down Gravelly Run fanning the long stone-held algal hair and narrowing roils between the shoulders of the highway bridge: holly grows on the banks in the woods there, and the cedars' gothic-clustered spires could make green religion in winter bones: so I look and reflect, but the air's glass

A.R. Ammons is remembered as a generous and profound presence A.R. Ammons in his office, 1998. Robert Barker/University Photography By Franklin Crawford Voices echoed along the second floor corridors of Goldwin Smith Hall with a somewhat hushed and mournful resonance this past Monday morning, and the building itself seemed heavy-laden with the knowledge that master poet A.R. "Archie" Ammons would never again grace these old campus digs with his presence. Ammons, Cornell's Goldwin Smith Professor of Poetry emeritus, died Sunday, Feb. 25, at Kendal of Ithaca. He was 75. Ammons was, quite literally, a modern poetical phenomenon. His influence over American letters is immeasurably profound, and, while his style may inspire comers of every stripe, his literary accomplishments are not likely to be duplicated in our time or any other. Ammons was twice winner of the National Book Award, one in 1973 for Collected Poems and another in 1993 for Garbage . He has won virtually every other major prize for poetry in the United States, including: the Frost Medal for Distinguished Achievement in Poetry over a Lifetime, in 1994, given by the Poetry Society of America; the Bollingen Prize for Sphere: The Form of a Motion

Ammons' voice resonates at Sage memorial service A display of A.R. Ammons memorabilia was on view in the late poet's Goldwin Smith Hall office April 29 as part of a memorial service in his honor. Among the poet's personal effects are a portrait of the artist, his trademark walking hat and a spool of adding machine paper of the type he used to compose his famous Tape for the Turn of the Year Charles Harrington/University Photography By Franklin Crawford When the serene southern timbre of Archie Ammons' voice filled Sage Chapel Sunday afternoon, April 29, more than a few earthbound spines tingled to a supernatural frequency in their pews. "Am I coming through all right?" the voice of Ammons asked with Godlike clarity, as if running a sound check from heaven or playing a practical joke during the memorial held in his honor. Many heads in the audience of more than 300 swiftly nodded in assent and a goosebumpy tremblor of nervous laughter followed. The Ammons voiceover was sampled from a Cornell Mind and Memory seminar recorded in 1997. Professor James McConkey introduced the recording, which included a reading of In Memoriam Mae Noblitt and a rendition of "Shall We Gather at the River," sung by Ammons. Although McConkey had warned of a couple asides from Ammons, few in Sage Chapel were prepared for the offhand immediacy of the poet's voice. And the question itself, "Am I coming through all right," was as simple and profound and appropriate to the moment as Ammons ever was. It was a question originally posed to that Mind and Memory audience of 1997. On that day, Ammons was introduced, as he was on Sunday, by McConkey, the Goldwin Smith Professor of English Literature emeritus.

A. R. Ammons Poetics I look for the way things will turn out spiralling from a center, the shape things will take to come forth in so that the birch tree white touched black at branches will stand out wind-glittering totally its apparent self: I look for the forms things want to come as from what black wells of possibility, how a thing will unfold: not the shape on paper though that, too but the uninterfering means on paper: not so much looking for the shape as being available to any shape that may be summoning itself through me from the self not mine but ours.

A. R. Ammons, 1926-2001 Considered a premier American poet of the 20th century, A. R. Ammons's transcendentalist works which contemplated nature and man's place in it had roots in his service during World War II. A recipient of virtually every American poetry honor of modern times, A.R. Ammons died February 25th, 2001 in Ithaca, New York. Known for his simplicity of style and purity of theme, A.R. Ammons work invited comparison to such American master poets as Walt Whitman and Emerson. Born Archie Randolph Ammons on a farm outside of Whiteville, North Carolina in 1926, Ammons endured extreme hardship as a child of the Depression. The Ammons family, as farmers, were particularly hard hit by the economic crash, drought, and by tragedy: Two younger brothers died while Ammons was a child. Ammons often attributed his imagery and his even keel during the angry "Beat" movement of poetry to memories of his early hardship and poverty, which had shaped his personal perspective. Ammons entered the armed forces during World War II, and it was while serving aboard a US Navy destroyer that he discovered the gentle art of poetry.Ammons began reading collections he found in the ship library and began experimenting with his own verse before he was discharged. Once he had completed his tour of duty, Ammons returned to North Carolina where he attended Wake Forest College on the GI Bill, earning a bachelors degree in biology before doing graduate work at the University of California at Berkeley. After a diverse array of employments, Ammons accepted a faculty position at Cornell University of Ithaca, New York in 1964, the year in which his second volume of poetry, "Expressions of Sea Level" was published.

In a Dark Time ... The Eye Begins to See April 02, 2002 Don't Miss It In the midst of reading A.R. Ammons delightful The Selected Poems, expanded edition After my recent illness I was determined not to miss another important moment in my life, refusing to remain lost in the inevitable stress that has consumed much of my life. At least this time I will try to pay attention to what is truly important. Eyesight It was May before my attention came to spring and my word I said to the southern slopes I've missed it, it came and went before I got right to see: don't worry, said the mountain, try the later northern slopes or if you can climb, climb into spring: but said the mountain it's not that way with all things, some that go are gone Luckily, true beauty is eternal and even ephemeral beauty is seasonal. So, if we are lucky, in nature we can simply go somewhere else to see what we have missed. Posted by lw at 09:34 AM April 04, 2002
