April 25, 2005: If you love poetry, real poetry of a literary caliber (i.e. not most love poems save for John Donne's and company) then you shouldn't dare call your bookshelf a library without at least one copy of an E.E. Cummings book. He not only uses rhymed verse, but experiments in all forms of poetry from classical Shakespearean sonnets to modern/post-modern style poems that achieve aesthetic greatness. Cummings blends his love of and expertice in art with his legendary abilities of the written word. Wow! If you love quality literature and/or art in any form, this book should be your Bible short of the real thing...
