Ammons - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	2647	342	73	Archie Randolph Ammons (February 18, 1926 – February 25, 2001) was an American poet who won the annual National Book Award for Poetry in 1973 and 1993.[1][2] Ammons's other awards include a 1981 National Book Critics Circle Award for A Coast of Trees;[13] a 1993 Library of Congress Rebekah Johnson Bobbitt National Prize for Poetry for Garbage; the 1975 Bollingen Prize for Sphere; the Poetry Society of America's Robert Frost Medal; the Ruth Lilly Prize; and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the American Academy of Arts and Letters.[14] He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1978.[15] Mark Smith notes that in long poems such as Garbage, with their "improvised, no-stopping, 'one-time event' compositional procedures," "Ammons works with a continuum of utterance whose central furrows are the most frequently repeated words and phrases in the contemporary American vulgate, but whose far outcastings register the faintest traces of anomalous use." That is, Ammons subjected his own poetic style and its relation to contemporary speech to considerable scrutiny.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8302.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8302.txt
