A review by aegagrus
Garbage by A. R. Ammons
4.0
Very finely done. Balances rhetorical gravitas and quirk/idiosyncracy. Also balances philosophical seriousness and freewheeling reference points/imagery. There is a lot to learn here about poetry as craft. Some choices in phrasing a bit dated.
"there is truly only meaning,
only meaning, meanings, so many meanings,
meaninglessness becomes what to make of so many
meanings: and, truly, everything is real"
