E.E. Cummings--at a time when it was in fashion for most writers to consider the rise of the Great Soviet Experiment to be a great bastion of hope for humanity--considered it to be something that was making everyone Unmen and Unwomen. As such, he models his trip into Russia on Dante's descent into Hell in the Inferno. It's an amazing combination of poetry, prose, fiction, and non-fiction. If you liked the Enormous Room, you should read this book.

EIMI is greek for I am. A declaration of being.]]>
