Is 5 [Paperback]

E. E. Cummings (Author)

Book Description

Fresh and candid, by turns earthy, tender, defiant, and romantic, Cummings's poems celebrate the uniqueness of each individual, the need to protest the dehumanizing force of organizations, and the exuberant power of love.

This review is from: Is 5 (Paperback)

(I know, how predictable, right?)
Anyway, this is a wonderfully fun little book of poems. E.E. Cummings' style will not and can never really be duplicated. But it's not just a gimmick, this guy was one of the best.

This review is from: Is 5 (Paperback)

This may not be the all-time greatest collection of poems from the fabulous Mr. Cummings, but it still contains a lot of gems, and is (quite simply) quite wonderful.
