Selected Poems 1923-1958

by E.E. Cummings
Selected Poems 1923-1958
Selected Poems 1923-1958

Poetic form reimagined; intimate, whimsical expression.

If you're looking to dip your toes into the vast ocean of poetry, E.E. Cummings' "Selected Poems 1923-1958" is a delightful start. The poet's own selection excellently showcases his pioneering use of language and form, it's a whimsical journey through Cummings' charm and innovation that feels both intimate and liberating. It's for anyone curious about the emotive power of words beyond traditional verse.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This selection, made by Cummings himself in 1960, offers a comprehensive introduction to his most characteristic work — whether love poems, satirical squibs or nature poetry — and represents the range of his experiments with lyric form, syntax and typography, which combined to offer a radically individual and spontaneous view of the world.
