An Image for Longing: Selected Letters and Journals of A. R. Ammons (E L S Monograph Series)

A generous selection of Ammons's letters and journals, An Image for Longing provides a renovated understanding of this important poet, sending readers back to his classic work with new appreciation, by drawing a picture of his career from its beginnings in the 1950s, through the 1960s, the decade of his remarkable ascendancy, to the culmination of its first phase with the publication of his major work, Sphere: the Form of a Motion, in 1974.
