Too often, I come across literature--certain selections-- that I dig, but just don't get to use in the classroom.  I'm going to share them here instead, on the off chance that some of you may appreciate it too.

Every anthology has some cutsey ee cummings selections in them.  We've all read them.  Some may have dismissed him as I did before I

when I was a teen I bathed myself in cummings. I think he was the reason I began to write. I found his work unconventional and that was what I was looking for, but weren't we all in the 70's?

Nice to be reminded of how wonderful he really was.

Thank you T.
