A. R. Ammons
"A poem generated by its own laws may be unrealized and bad in terms of so-called objective principles of taste, judgement, deduction."

Law

A. R. Ammons
"I am grateful for - though I can't keep up with - the flood of articles, theses, and textbooks that mean to share insight concerning the nature of poetry."

Nature

Quote_1.png
A. R. Ammons
"Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day, as the poet's health, sight, his anticipations, moods, fears, thoughts cannot be the same."

Time

Quote_1.png
A. R. Ammons
"The poet exposes himself to the risk. All that has been said about poetry, all that he has learned about poetry, is only a partial assurance."

Poetry

Quote_1.png
A. R. Ammons
"Poetry leads us to the unstructured sources of our beings, to the unknown, and returns us to our rational, structured selves refreshed."

Poetry

Quote_1.png
A. R. Ammons
"I must stress here the point that I appreciate clarity, order, meaning, structure, rationality: they are necessary to whatever provisional stability we have, and they can be the agents of gradual and successful change."

Change

A. R. Ammons
"Besides the actual reading in class of many poems, I would suggest you do two things: first, while teaching everything you can and keeping free of it, teach that poetry is a mode of discourse that differs from logical exposition."

Reading

Quote_1.png
A. R. Ammons
"That's a wonderful change that's taken place, and so most poetry today is published, if not directly by the person, certainly by the enterprise of the poet himself, working with his friends."

Friendship

"Everything is discursive opinion instead of direct experience."
