Poem of the Day: ‘i carry your heart with me(i carry it in’ by e. e. cummings

Sherrie Miranda:

Thanks, BookPeopleBlog! I dedicate this poem to my husband. I couldn’t do better than him if I lived a thousand years!

Sherrie Miranda’s historically based, coming of age, Adventure novel “Secrets & Lies in El Salvador” is about an American girl in war-torn El Salvador: http://tinyurl.com/klxbt4y

Her husband made a video for her novel. He wrote the song too:

Today’s poem of the day for this final week of National Poetry Month (oh, where does the time go?) is one from E. E. Cummings, that master manipulator of language: i carry your heart with me(i carry it in.  One of the most prolific and experimental poets of the twentieth century, Cummings cultivated a distinct style that reimagined the rules of grammar and even invented its own words.  He’s know for being weird and at times virtually impossible to understand, but if you’ve taken a spin through the massive volume E. E. Cummings: Complete Poems, 1904-1962 (Liverlight Publishing Corporation, 1994), you’ll know that he’s also a romantic whose body of work consists largely of love poems.  This is one of them (and it’s not impossible to read!)  Enjoy.
