About This Item
London: Faber & Faber, 1964. 1st UK. hardback. Near fine, 1st UK edition, clipped d/j (good but with bumping and chipping); green clothbound boards, gilt spine titling bright, text block firm, pages crisp and unmarked.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). Composed between 1958 and his death in 1962, this was the last published collection by E. E. Cummings. It contains some of his surest and most characteristic work.Much has been made of his innovations in typography and punctuation, which have been often misunderstood as mere 'effects'. But it is evident that they are one aspect - and a very important one - of his search for the purest and most complete expression of his thought and feeling.
