Frederieke Taylor Gallery celebrates the life of Archie Ammons, October 18, 2001
The great and beloved poet A.R. ("Archie") Ammons died in February 2001 at the age of seventy-five. Author of some two dozen books of poems, Ammons twice won the National Book Award, and also received a Bollingen Prize, a MacArthur Prize Fellow Award, and the Robert Frost Medal from the Poetry Society of America.
Please join us for an evening of appreciation for Ammons's life, his teaching, and, of course, his poems. Poets, fiction-writers, and visual artists will read from Ammons's work and from original work inspired by him. Former students will share recollections of Ammons as a teacher, mentor, and riend.
