Ammons wrote the poem at the age of 63, and he used the poem to examine the elective affinities between the wasting away of the aged body and the nature of decay in the physical and social worlds. Through this examination, Ammons is able to interrogate America’s various obsessions with absence and presence. Said interrogation is wrought through an attempt by Ammons to absence the self: by “ ghosting” his aged body, he in fact celebrates the presence of both things thought (or wished) absent and things essentially made absent through our lack of attention to them. While the poem is a meditation on the subject position of the aged male subject, such a meditation in essence becomes a celebration of overlooked presences, oversights that marginalize the spiritual value of many kinds of “garbage”. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of how Ammons’ insights lead to some understanding of recent attempts in World Cinema and American art to examine the aged male subject. 外文系系办 --
