One Times One [Paperback]

E. E. Cummings (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 17, 2002

A paperback collection newly offset from Complete Poems 1904-1962 with an afterword by the Cummings scholar George James Firmage.

Cummings's ninth book of poems, One Times One, was first published in 1944. The poems in One Times One have as their theme "oneness and the means (one times one) whereby that oneness is achieved—love," in the words of Cummings's biographer Richard S. Kennedy. Besides new expressions of universal concerns, Cummings writes here in a lyric and optimistic mode, drawing portraits of people dear to him in New Hampshire and New York City's Greenwich Village. This new edition joins other individual uniform Liveright paperback volumes drawn from the Complete Poems, most recently Etcetera and 22 and 50 Poems.

A must have for cummings lovers and poetry addicts in general. The collection of poems put together in this book will leave you craving for more and yet will let your slip into the dark places in your mind to constantly analyse the poem you're reading while analysing yourself. A must have in your collection.
