I think I’ll read along again this year with Ammons’s Tape for the Turn of the Year, a poem composed in daily entries between Dec 6 & Jan 10 on a roll of adding-machine tape: “once started, / can I ever get / free / of the thing, get it in / and out of the typewriter / and mind?” https://t.co/oZXZn9UaEk

Robert Mezey. “You would have liked it here, / The emptiness, the wind across the fields, / And the spring coming on—especially / The strange white almond blossoms, their unfolding / When a car swings down the lane toward the orchard / And turns its headlights on them.” https://t.co/f5gnhidxz8
