review 1: A gift from my guy--what could be better! I love these poems, but had never seen them collected together before--each classic cummings volume usually contains a handful. Love how the man is bluntly explicit and yet soars, and tickles, and whispers, he sings his appreciation of a whore or an exquisite tender passion for a wife, each in her own specific way, celebrating her and her-and-him honestly. A less romantic collection than Neruda's 20 Love Songs and a Song of Despair-- the nature of the relationships are depicted bluntly, without fancying them up, and yet the joy is unmistakeable. Such succulent delight, it at times reminds me of a kind of distilled Henry Miller, and yet Miller wasn't very good at distinguishing between his women and the kinds of sex they had, the ... morekinds of relationships in which the sex is embedded. cummings was a very-tuned in guy. This would make a fabulous anniversary present for a fellow to give the lady in his life.
