Very good, but...
A very good selection, made by the poet himself from 11 books of poems. Its purpose is to be an introduction, though it has no preface or a note on the poet's life. Just the poems and an index of first lines. The flaw, at least for me, is that my favorite poem and one of the most known from e. e. cummings is lacking: "somewhere i have never traveled, gladly beyond", that one with the end line "no one, not even the rain, has such small hands". Maybe it is post 1958, but I don't know. Overall, a good book. ... Read more

Product Description
A reissue of E. E. Cummings'slong-unavailable, yet pointedand moving story of a journey through Soviet Russia.Unavailable for more than fifty years,EIMI finally returns. While sometimestermed a "novel," it is better described as anovelistic travelogue, the diary of a trip toRussia in the 1930s during the rise of theStalinist government. Despite some contempt forwhat he witnesses, Cummings's narrator has aneffective, occasionally hilarious way of evoking feelings of accord and understanding. As EzraPound wrote, Cummings's Soviet Union is laid"out there pellucidly on the page in all itsSlavic unfinishedness, in all of itsDostoievskian slobberyness....Does any man wishto know about Russia? 'EIMI'!"

Astylistic tour de force, EIMI is amélange of styles and tones, the prosecontaining many abbreviations, grammatical andsyntactical shifts, typographical devices,compounds, and word coinages. This isCummings's invigorating and unique voice at its finest, and EIMI is without question one of his most substantial accomplishments.

Anyway, this is a wonderfully fun little book of poems.E.E. Cummings' style will not and can never really be duplicated.But it's not just a gimmick, this guy was one of the best.
