Description
Book SynopsisConfined to a private edition for decades, this volume sheds further light on E.E. Cummings’s prodigious vision and imagination.
Trade Review"Cummings was one of the most spirited and original American writers of the 20th century." -- The Wall Street Journal
"Mr. Cummings is not merely the perfect acrobat or the genius carefully, yet easily and very skillfully inhabiting everything which we really are and everything which we never quite live. His intention is not to be serious, but to be very serious and get away with it." -- Louis Zukofsky - Exile
"In prose as much as in poetry, Cummings’s lines are a vehicle for typographical leaps of daring, experiments with and distortions of syntax. Even at its most controlled, it is distinctively a poet’s prose, looking to forge a new sound from language." -- The San Franciso Chronicle
