A propos de cet article

First Centennial Edition. Hardcover. 9 1/2" X 7". xxxii, 1102pp. First Centennial Edition (revised, corrected, and expanded), with full number line indicating first printing thus. Very mild shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of unclipped dust jacket. Bound in black paper over boards with spine lettered in gilt. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is firm, square, and sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Combining Thoreau's controlled belligerence with the brash abandon of an uninhibited bohemian, E. E. Cummings, together with Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and William Carlos Williams, helped bring about the twentieth-century revolution in literary expression. Today Cummings is recognized as the author of some of the most sensuous lyric poems in the English language, as well as one of the most inventive American poets of his time. Formally fractured and yet gleefully alive and whole, at once cubistic and figurative, Cummings's work expanded the boundaries of what language is and can do.(Publisher).

Synopsis

This edition of E.E. Cummings's Complete Poems contains all the poems published or designated for publication by the poet in his lifetime, including 36 poems that were first collected in the 1991 edition and 164 unpublished poems issued in 1983 under the title Etcetera. Combining a controlled belligerence with the brash abandon of an uninhibited bohemian, Cummings, together with Pound, Eliot and William Carlos Williams, helped bring about the twentieth-century revolution in literary expression. Formally fractured and yet gleefully alive and whole, at once cubistic and figurative, Cummings's work expanded the boundaries of what language is and can do.
