Editorial Review of E.E. Cummings: Complete Poems 1904-1962
This centennial edition of E. E. Cumming's Complete Poems, published in celebration of his birth on October 14, 1894, contains all of the poems published or designated for publication by the poet in his lifetime.
At the time of his death in 1962, E. E. Cummings was, next to Robert Frost, the most widely read poet in America. Combining Thoreau's controlled belligerence with the brash abandon of an uninhibited bohemian, Cummings, together with Pound, Eliot, and William Carlos Williams, helped bring about the twentieth-century revolution in literary expression. He is recognized on the one hand as the author of some of the most beautiful lyric poems written in the English language, and on the other as one of the most inventive American poets of his time—in the worlds of Richard Kostelanetz, "the major American poet of the middle-twentieth-century."

Customer Reviews of E.E. Cummings: Complete Poems 1904-1962

Review Summary: be your own judge...
Review: ee cummings is my favorite poet, so obviously I'm a little biased. But if you love poetry you'll appreciate cummings' unique style, emotion, thought process and expression that will make you think about what his writing means for days on end.
I've tried to illustrate his poems, never doing them any justice, but it's a fun exercise in understanding what he felt when writing.
If you're knew to ee I would suggest reading one of his poems, just one... flip through the book and pick any single one of them, then you'll know what I mean.

Review Summary: e.e. cummings, a man after my likes
Review: "E. E. Cummings Complete Poems (1904-1962)" runs a thousand fifty pages long, not counting the first-line index. In those thousand pages, you get to know the man Cummings like he was your neighbor or even your drinking buddy. I read the book in two weeks: most of the poems were less than one page. Reading the book was like have a conversation with the man's spirit.
