My Thoughts:

This is kind of a book review, but not completely a book review. This is more along the lines of a couple paragraphs of me going off on the experience of reading every poem by the wonderful E.E. Cummings over all of 2012. That’s right. I read every E.E. Cummings poem in a year. I am quite proud of this.

I had read a few handfuls of E.E. Cummings poems before buying this book but I knew I was going to love it. And I wasn’t wrong. I was completely right. I LOVED THESE POEMS. I started marking the page every time I found a poem I wanted to reread again and again. I ended up marking 52 altogether. There’s just something about his poetry that draws me in and captivates me.

It’s hard to explain completely how much you can take away from poetry when you read it. I can see how certain poems or poets can be hard to read, but when you find one that is enjoyable it is truly a great experience. E.E. Cummings is that poet to me.

My Rating: Exceptional

Very happy with my purchase. Keeping it by my bedside. Just the right size, which is a silly reason to like this book.
It's good to have the complete poems in my library however the single volume is heavy and unwieldy for casual use. A 2 volume set would be more useful.
I give this book a 5 star rating because the collection is extremely complete and so far, I've not found any errors. I still have many pages to go, though. If you enjoy ee Cummings, and only want one book, this is a good one. Arrived in great shape and I love the fact that it is a hard cover. I still like holding a book in my hand to read. I'm not ready to start reading via computer.
The book was hit pretty hard and not well described in the listing. I probably would have opted to pay more had I known.
Just received it today! I'm very excited to read so many I didn't even know were there. As usual, when reading e.e.cummings, I must read slower & thoughtfully, to truly enjoy his elegant humor. Now that I own it I can take my time. Now I need to discover his stories.
I purchased this rather hefty and thick book of E.E. Cummings' work for a friend who is a devoted fan as a gift. Her old copy from decades ago was literally falling apart with yellowed, brittle pages. She was delighted upon receiving it and marveled at the great condition the book was in. There was as silky smoothness to the pages that either one of us couldn't' quite place. In all, it was a solid purchase and I'm glad my friend enjoyed the gift.
All of e.e. cummings' poetry in one place - what more could you ask for? It's not a sit down and read it all at once kind of book - but boy have I enjoyed picking this up and randomly flipping to pages and devouring what's there. He writes beautifully.
