Hazel Retzlaff
English
Firmage, George James, ed. E.E. Cummings: Complete Poems 1904-1962. New York: Liveright Publishing Corporation, 1994.
Dr. Retzlaff chose this book because:
“E.E. Cummings has always been a strong voice for the ideas I value. As I get older and at times more unsure about the future of my country and of the world, his poetry seems more important. He expressed a deep faith in the goodness in the world; he also spoke truth to power when it was necessary to do so. Students respond to his poetry, too, and that makes me love him more”
