E.E. Cummings
"Christmas Tree"
Mt. Vernon, NY: Golden Eagle Press, 1960
E.E. Cummings's greeting poem, sent out under his and his wife's name, was written in 1928. It is shown here in a broadside. For Cummings, one of America's foremost poetic innovators, the image of the Christmas tree is an emblem for the childlike joy that the holiday and its trappings arouse in him. |
