"No other contemporary poet, in America, is likelier to become a classic than A. R. Ammons."—Harold Bloom
Bosh and Flapdoodle is A. R. Ammons's last completed collection of poetry. Written over a six-week period, the book offers a series of candid, alternately hilarious and heartbreaking ruminations on age, illness, and death, while still finding room for the poet's always penetrating observations of daily life and natural events.A.
