jessica - ee cummings is my fave.
i was on a road trip a while back with some of my friends who i hadn't
seen in a long time. five minutes on the road, and they turned on the
radio - the conversation immediately stopped. i asked 'em if we could
try something else and pulled out my trusty complete works (which i
always have with me - probably explains the bad back) and we all started
reading our favorite stuff to each and taking about why it was
significant to us. then everybody else started pulling their trusty
faves out and we spend the next several hours sharing poetry and prose,
even some of our own. it was a wonderful trip, and i'm so glad we didn't
that little time we had listening to whatever we could find on the
strongest top 40 station out in the country.
