This collection of shorter poems won the National Book Critics Circle
Award in 1981. Of this volume, the noted critic Harold Bloom has
written, "A Coast of Trees represents A. R. Ammons at his strongest
and most eloquent in the lyric mode. The book is an achievement fully
comparable to his Uplands and Briefings. Among the poems likely to
assume a permanent place in the Ammonsian (and American) canon are
the majestic title lyric and 'Swells,' 'Easter Morning,' 'Keepsake,'
'Givings,' and 'Persistences.' Again Ammons has confirmed his vital
continuities with the central Whitmanian tradition of our poetry, and
his crucial place in that panoply."
