Description: Glare is a superb long poem by the contemporary master of the form, comprising two sections, "Strip" and "Scat Scan." It demonstrates, yet again, why A. R. Ammons's poetic voice is a national treasure: by turns cosmic, self-inflating, self-deflating, eloquent, intimate, bawdy, comic, precise - and always unmistakably his own.
