Description

One of the more curious poems by one of the most idiosyncratic of poets. Cummings’ use of syntax, punctuation and his inimicable free-form poetic flow mark him as one of early 20th century poetry’s great innovators. I was joined in studio to by Kate Dempsey, a multi-award winning poet leader of the poetry divas, and an avid admirer of Cummings’ work. Dempsey’s debut collection, The Space between, was published in 2016 by Doire Press.
