E. E. (Edward Estlin) Cummings

In this tender interpretation of E.E. Cummings' beloved poem, [i carry your heart with me(i carry it in], a mother carries her child and introduces her to the wonders of the world, its seasons and storms, and together, they discover the root of the root and the bud of the bud, life's secret.

Four tales include "The Old Man Who Said 'Why'," "The Elephant & The Butterfly," "The House That Ate Mosquito Pie," and "The Little Girl Named I."

95 Poems is the last book of new poems published in Cummings's lifetime. Remarkable for its vigor, freshness, interest in ordinary individuals, and awareness of the human life cycle, the book reflects Cummings's observations on nature and his prevailing gratitude for whatever life offers: "Time's a strange fellow: more he gives than takes."
