100 Selected Poems | e. e. cummings
31 posts | 31 read | 13 to read
e.e. cummings is without question one of the major poets of this century, and this volume, first published in 1959, is indispensable for every lover of modern lyrical verse. It contains one hundred of cummingss wittiest and most profound poems, harvested from thirty-five of the most radically creative years in contemporary American poetry. These poems exhibit all the extraordinary lyricism, playfulness, technical ingenuity, and compassion for which cummings is famous. They demonstrate beautifully his extrapolations from traditional poetic structures and his departures from them, as well as the unique synthesis of lavish imagery and acute artistic precision that has won him the adulation and respect of critics and poetry lovers everywhere.

[in Just-]
BY E. E. CUMMINGS

in Just-
spring when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame balloonman

whistles far and wee

and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

Karisa the queer
old balloonman whistles
far and wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's
spring
and

the

goat-footed

balloonMan whistles
far
and
wee

This is book 51 of 150 for this year. I read it May 9-26 and gave it 4 ⭐️on Good Reads. I have always liked e.e. cummings but never really read his work outside of school. I am glad that I found this book and will be looking forward to reading more of his work.

Out of the 100 selected here, I only really liked about 3 and some quotes from a few more. He‘s known for the strange placement of punctuation but I didn‘t realize how much he really messed with the grammar and word types. For someone like me who pays attention to correct grammar and spelling, it was excruciating at times. In any case, here‘s a pictured poem I did enjoy.

Let me just inform you that a Goodreads book search on "sticky" will lead to nearly pornographic results! ? So I'm going with a snippet from a poem and a Google image search for this one!

Some of these poems are amazing and even brought tears; others left me so confused I‘m still wondering about them. 🤔
