Cummings, E.E.

EIMI.

1933 1st New York: Covici, Friede, 1933. First edition, one of 1,381 numbered copies signed by Cummings. Intrigued by the portrait of the Soviet Union as a workers' and artists' paradise, E.E. Cummings (1894-1962) was one of the few American writers to actually travel there in the Thirties. Horrified by what he encountered, Cummings composed this dense, often difficult denunciation of collectivism and was subsequently forsaken by the American left, which had previously championed the open sexuality and unconventional arrangement of his verse. Some general foxing and dust spotting to the top edge, the fore-edge, the endpapers, and the yellow cloth-covered boards; otherwise a very good copy in the uncommon printed dust jacket, which also has some general minor foxing overall. Firmage, G.: E.E. Cummings: A Bibliography, #A13.
