Trying to read the more difficult sections of my library this year, this is one of them. I can't believe I haven't gotten to Cummings yet. He expresses a lot of my own Romantic notions all in fragments and gorgeous breakdowns of language, as if unwrapping the secrets of the words.

So much went over my head, but it didn’t matter because what was left got right to the essence of things. I first came across Cummings early in college.
He is among those early influences that has permanent sway. ❤️

Found this at the goodwill for a dollar and have been slowly working my way through it. Some of them are so good I printed them out and taped them onto my poetry wall (humanity i love you and buffalo bill’s) while others just make me roll my eyes and be like, okay, mr. cummings, i get that ur some fancy poet and all but like can u stop being horny on main for once
