Erotic Poems
Erotic Poems | e. e. cummings
9 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
E. E. Cummingss erotic poems and drawings gathered in a single volume. Many years ago the prodigious and famously prolific E. E. Cummings sat in his study writing and thinking about sex. His private brooding gave way to poems and drawings of sexual and romantic love that delight and provoke. Here, collected for this first time in a single volume, are those erotic poems and sketches, culled from Cummingss original manuscripts by the distinguished editor George James Firmage. from 16 may i feel said he (ill squeal said she just once said he) its fun said she (may i touch said he how much said she a lot said he) why not said she

Pickpick

I had a hard time trying to decide how to rate this, but in the end it was fun and far less uptight feeling than other collections of poetry I‘ve read, so I‘ve got to give it a pick. The poetry was funny, intriguing, and thought provoking in turns, including one poem that is 100% about driving a car and yet still 100% about sex. For that poem alone I have to make this a pick.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics The drawings are ridiculous. I easily could have done without them. They really distracted from the poetry, mostly because they make no sense. Some of them look like someone whose never had or seen sex was trying to draw what it might look like. Others look like drawings done by a child who is trying to figure out what he just walked in on mommy and daddy doing. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 4y
GingerAntics Two bodies, three heads, five legs, 4 arms (but 3 of them are going in the same direction), no one‘s quite sure what‘s happening, and that‘s just one of picture. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 4y
GingerAntics Absolutely no ToC, just 72 pages of “Begin Reading” so going back to reread poems means I‘ve either already highlighted it or I‘m going to have to page through until I find it. Not ideal. #EECummings #EroticPoetry #Poetry 4y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie loved 99% of the poetry in this collection. I‘ll definitely be reading more Cummings as soon as I can get my hands on some more. 4y
readordierachel Love this review 😂 You've definitely intrigued me 4y
GingerAntics @readordierachel thanks! I hope you enjoy it. Maybe you can make heads or tails of some of the drawings. 😂 4y

@TheBookHippie for the love of all that is holy what the flying Vagina did I just read? It was totally about a car and yet so obviously about sex. 🤯 Mind. Blown. Only getting one poem read tonight because this one has left me entirely... 🤯

I wasn‘t so sure about this collection (my inner giggling 12yo was game)...then @WanderingBookaneer said it was ILLUSTRATED and I couldn‘t help myself. Seems an odd thing to illustrate, but hey. 🤷🏼‍♀️ This probably wasn‘t what @TheBookHippie was thinking when she suggested Cummings, but maybe she didn‘t know it was illustrated. 🤷🏼‍♀️😏😂 #iam12

I‘m not sure how I feel about this collection of a erotic poems by cummings. The illustrations definitely make it NSFW

In today's guest post, the editors of Twisted Moon Magazine share a little about their publication and why they chose to focus on erotic speculative poetry.

this is a screenshot from my favorite poetry app. It's called TheLoveBook. you can record your own poems, or have poems read to you by lovely voices such as Helena Bonham Carter, Emma Watson, Tom Hiddleston, etc. my favorite is May I Feel Said He (e.e. cummings). the app needs updated and sometimes is slow but it's totally worth it to have Tom Hiddleston reading me Shakespeare! #seasonsreadings2016 #poetry @RealLifeReading

Eeeh! ?

Mehso-so

It turns out I am not a huge e.e. Cummings fan. But I do love me some erotica!

This one is a little dicey to read at the hair salon. Graphic drawings abound!

Sydsavvy Lol I love e. e. cummings and had no idea about this! I guess the small private Baptist college I went to, no matter how liberal, didn't quite fill me in on all of his works HaHa! 8y
GinaF1003 @Sydsavvy Hahaha! I only discovered this recently as well! I feel more well rounded in e.e. just by reading it! I like his other work better, though I'd definitely recommend it to an e.e. lover. Give it a whirl then let me know what you think. Beware the drawings! 8y
