Typical E. E. Cummings. Turn off your logic, open your Spirit and all is revealed. ( )

Most of these don't seem to be particularly aimed at children in the same way that Cummings' Fairy Tales obviously are. On the other hand there's a high proportion of really good poems here. A high proportion of only 20 in this slender volume, which appears to contain 4 poems not in Collected Poems. That justified the purchase to me, with my completist tendencies towards writers I greatly admire. ( )

Not all of the poems were completely accessible from a comprehending them standpoint (not that e.e. cummings is completely understandable by anyone) - but the wordplay and rhythm and subjects were fun. ( )
