Erotic Poems by E.E. Cummings
2.0
This book exists simply as a marketing ploy for valentine's day. If you like ee cummings, it is sure that you already have his Complete Poems, and the only reason someone would be foolish enough to cough up $13 for this instead of the Complete (&superior) Poems is because they're hard up for a valentine's day present. Really. They do this with Anne Sexton, too ([b:Love Poems|47733|Love Poems|Anne Sexton|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170348423s/47733.jpg|1087441]). Truly, this is way too narrow a collection for cummings' fans, or anyone who likes poetry.
The poems get plenty of stars, but the publisher's intention is suspect. I admit it is good to try to get people interested in poetry anywhichway, but this rankles.
