I--Six Nonlectures (Charles Eliot Norton Lectures)by e e cummings
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The author begins his "nonlectures" with the warning "I haven't the remotest intention of posing as a lecturer." Then, at intervals, he proceeds to deliver the following: 1. i and my parents These talks contain selections from the poetry of Wordsworth, Donne, Shakespeare, Dante, and others, including e.e. cummings. Together, it forms a good introduction to the work of e.e. cummings. Review:What a book, what a poet, what a man, what a patriot, what a proud nation he is the first (and only?) citizen of--no, he didn't discover New Jersey, nuclear fission, or nucoa, just himself. Review:Six marvelously unconventional lectures...An aesthetic self-portrait and a definition of Mr. Cummings's 'stance' as a writer. Full of originality, high spirits, and aphoristic dicta, they express a credo of intense individualism. Review:E. E. Cummings has given so much delight over the years--by his poetry, his painting, and his personality--that a deeply serious side of him, that of the dedicated man, has been overlooked...'i: Six Nonlectures,' should help to bring him into sharper focus; [it is] the autobiography of a man who, through all the strange deviations of a strange age, has remained true to himself--one, moreover, so completely creative that even his lectures, which he calls 'nonlectures,' offer new esthetic experiences...Seldom, indeed, has the subject of the creator and the creative faculty been so frankly and inspiringly present.
