Bloom continues, "There are other American poets since Stevens who
have composed a handful of memorable poems, but only Ammons has
begun to show us a whole poetic world. More than his
contemporaries, he has perfected a voice that, to cite Emerson, is
'ready to render an image of every created thing.'" David Kalstone
says, "The poems are, by and large, tough or wry meditations,
striking out into strange landscapes, dreams or nightmares, which
are seen with entire clarity, no blurring, as if this were the only
way the mind could be unwound on the page. The book forms a journal
of mental states, each poem finding a form and a scene for a very
exact mental encounter of discovery. . . . 'Small and Easy' is the
way everything is finally made to seem, like the rarest dancing, in
which briefly and freshly the dancer shows us what space is like by
showing how much he can possess."
