Synopsis:

This centennial edition of E. E. Cumming's Complete Poems, published in celebration of his birth on October 14, 1894, contains all of the poems published or designated for publication by the poet in his lifetime.At the time of his death in 1962, E. E. Cummings was, next to Robert Frost, the most widely read poet in America. Combining Thoreau's controlled belligerence with the brash abandon of an uninhibited bohemian, Cummings, together with Pound, Eliot, and William Carlos Williams, helped bring about the twentieth-century revolution in literary expression. He is recognized on the one hand as the author of some of the most beautiful lyric poems written in the English language, and on the other as one of the most inventive American poets of his time-in the worlds of Richard Kostelanetz, "the major American poet of the middle-twentieth-century."

Description:

Rev., corr., and expanded ed. containing all the published poetry. Includes bibliographical references and index.

Kate B., July 18, 2007 (view all comments by Kate B.)
His poems are an odd jump where you have to mouth the words and see how he has structured the lines to understand anything. And even after all of this, it's still difficult to explain what is going on, but you know what the poem is about even if you can never tell anyone exactly how you know. You see the pictures he has made. Oh, terrible man, because he disconnects us from lucid thought and logical patterns. Hooray for e.e. cummings!
