I agree with curtis's review from Nov 24, 2005. While I thought this book was neat when I picked it up, I find it lacking now. I would recommend just a book of his poems, and then a separate book of commentary about him and his works if you are looking for that. ( )

I find this book, though an admirably good attempt, to be lacking in content. To be frank, there aren't enough of Cumming's poems in the book, and although Kostelanetz has either written or compiled one or two good essays, I think that perhaps an investment in the Complete Works of EE Cummings would be a much more insightful perspective.
