100 Selected Poems by E. E. Cummings

Rating:
Summary: Great little book!
Review: This was given to me by a friend five years ago, and I keep coming back to to look at old favorites and learn new ones. The occasion today is that I want to order a copy to give to someone else. When you get this, check out "sonnet entitled how to run the world"... it's the best, although requires several readings. And know that despite all of the wierd punctuation, cummings' poems do work well when read aloud.

Summary: Start Here
Review: You may have heard of this infamous poet - or even read one or two of his pieces so frequently called "avant garde." His imagery is startling and perhaps his greatest gift was his ability to make those images musical, as though they roll off the soul. If you've wanted to get a taste of Cummings and didn't know where to start, this is an affordable collection of some favorites. Well worth the inexpensive price - compact but filled with the choicest selections.
