Great Regulars: "Cut the Grass," from [A.R.] Ammons'

1983 book "Lake Country Effect," has a similar theme. I love how the poem turns on these two lines--"I think how much/revelation concealment necessitates"--as if to say that the self is a vessel of many selves united first by intuition, and then by the desire to understand how the entirety of the inner life transcends the physical world.

Cut the Grass

from David Biespiel: The Oregonian: Poetry
