(I know, how predictable, right?)
Anyway, this is a wonderfully fun little book of poems. E.E. Cummings' style will not and can never really be duplicated. But it's not just a gimmick, this guy was one of the best.

quite wonderful
This may not be the all-time greatest collection of poems from the fabulous Mr. Cummings, but it still contains a lot of gems, and is (quite simply) quite wonderful.
