Selected Poems | e. e. cummings
25 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
"No one else has ever made avant-garde, experimental poems so attractive to both the general and the special reader."Randall Jarrell The one hundred and fifty-six poems here, arranged in twelve sections and introduced by E. E. Cummings's biographer, Richard S. Kennedy, include his most popular poems, spanning his earliest creations, his vivacious linguistic acrobatics, up to his last valedictory sonnets. Also featured are thirteen drawings, oils, and watercolors by Cummings, most of them never before published. Adjusting type size may change line breaks. Landscape mode may help to preserve line breaks.

Karisa One of my favs! 😍 2y
Leftcoastzen Love it! 2y
Centique This may be my favourite poem of all time. It‘s added to because it reminds me of my daughter at 4 saying to me “I‘ve put my heart on your heart and I‘ll never take it off” 😍 2y

I was first exposed to Cummings and avant-garde poetry in 9th grade. His brilliance and depth still speak to me.

Pageturner1 Thanks for posting poems. I haven't ever kept up with poems. I have enjoyed them when I was younger. Although, I cannot remember any that I have read off the top of my head. Who are your favorite writers? 4y
TheSpineView @Pageturner1 So glad you are enjoying them! So many... Frost, Dickinson, Wordsworth, Kei Miller, etc. 4y
Leftcoastzen Beautiful! 4y

Theere are so many wonderful poems it is impossible to choose just one as a favorite. Yet, for some reason this one had always stuck with me. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Lcsmcat Good choice! 5y
Leftcoastzen I love Cummings in general, this one is great! 4y

Had a check up from my brain treatment today - the tumour hasn't grown or shrunk & I'll have another MRI next year to find out if it's worked.

Helping 4th graders parse this poem always makes for a great #PoetryWednesday

LectricSheep YES! I feel like so many e e Cummings poems are great for kiddos, but by the time they get to high school they‘re like “this is weird.” 6y
celtichik He's fabulous! 6y
GatheringBooks ee cummings shared with kids is absolutely brilliant! 6y

Had some fun with the 4th grade poem for #PoetryWednesday Color coding it helps the kids string together the words that cummings separated.

Alongside my #tobecompleted post, these are the books I'm hoping to read this month. I am going on holiday to Cyprus in the middle of the month, and these are all on my Kindle, so this should be achievable. Will tag the others in comments.

Remember that boyfriend from way back when who stupidly and naively thought that he could get into your pants by reciting "I Carry Your Heart" by ee cummings? Forget that memory and check out the other poems by ee cummings #litsypoetry365

LeahBergen Mine walked into class and quoted lyrics from a bad heavy metal song of the day. Oh, wait ... I married him. 7y
Makatma Still better than some lines I've heard. 😜 7y
writerlibrarian @LauraBeth Well, if it's Tom Hiddleston It's kinda nice https://soundcloud.com/evencki/may-i-feel-said-he-by-e-e (edited) 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Uhmmm, no. I was lucky the guys I dated knew lyrics to pop songs. 7y
LauraBeth I 💕 that one @SusanInTiburon 7y
LauraBeth @8little_paws I have always been an ahole magnet for men - they've given me stuff for a lifetime to write about 😂 7y
LauraBeth @Laura317 ☺️☺️ 7y
LauraBeth @mcipher and @Ebooksandcooks I think it's taught in dude school to recite this poem to the ladies 😂 7y
LauraBeth @LeahBergen he didn't! Which song? 😂😂 7y
LauraBeth @Makatma to quote from an old movie, Singles: "I think that, a) you have an act, and that, b) not having an act is your act." ? 7y
LauraBeth @writerlibrarian I can make an exception for Hiddleston 😀☺️ 7y
LeahBergen @LauraBeth "I Only Wanted to Be Loved by You" by Riot, a heavy metal band out of Atlanta. Funny story ... we'd been together about 12 years and ended up at a house party IN CANADA and the lead singer from this band was there. We told him that it was his lyrics that got us together in high school ... and he drunkenly sang the whole song for me. In the kitchen. With the piercing signature scream. (edited) 7y
LauraBeth @LeahBergen 😂😂😂...going to go google this for a YouTube video so I can hear it... 7y
LeahBergen Oh, you will DIE!!!! 😂😂😂 7y
LauraBeth @LeahBergen I listened to it - it's actually not that bad! They sound relevant for that time - they must have gotten lost in the shuffle with Quiet Riot 😀 7y
