This centennial edition of E. E. Cumming's Complete Poems, published in celebration of his birth on October 14, 1894, contains all of the poems published or designated for publication by the poet in his lifetime. At the time of his death in 1962, E. E. Cummings was, next to Robert Frost, the most widely read poet in America. Combining Thoreau's controlled belligerence with the brash abandon of an uninhibited bohemian, Cummings, together with Pound, Eliot, and William Carlos Williams, helped bring about the twentieth-century revolution in literary expression. He is recognized on the one hand as the author of some of the most beautiful lyric poems written in the English language, and on the other as one of the most inventive American poets of his time—in the worlds of Richard Kostelanetz, "the major American poet of the middle-twentieth-century."

《LEAVES O F GRASS(草叶集)》One of the great innovative figures in American letters,Walt Whitman created a daringly new kind of poetry that became a major force in world literature. Leaves of Grass is his one book. First published in 1855 with only twelve poems, it was greeted by Ralph Waldo Emerson as "the wonderful gift.., the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed."Over the course of Whitman"s life, the book reappeared in many versions, expanded and transformed as the author"s experiences and the nation"s history changed and grew. Whitman"s ambition was to create something uniquely American. In that he succeeded. His poems have been woven into the very fabric of the American character. From his solemn masterpieces "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom"d" and "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking" to the joyous freedom of "Song of Myself," "I Sing the Body Electric," and "Song of the Open Road," Whitman"s work lives on, an inspiration to the poets of later generations.

人，自由的思想者！你自谓惟一的思想 在这生命闪耀于万物的世界中？ 你拥有的自由包含着力量， 但宇宙并不在你的所有建议之中。 请尊重在野兽身上一种活跃的精神： 每朵鲜花都是一个灵魂向自然的绽放； 一种神秘的爱在金属之中歇身； “一切皆有感觉！”你存在中的一切都有力强壮。 恐惧吧，在盲目的墙上，一道目光将你窥望： 在物质本身上也有一个动词粘附…… 不要把它用作某种孽逆的用途！ 在昏暗的存在中经常有一个上帝隐藏； 就像初生儿的眼睛被眼皮裹缚， 纯粹的精神在群石的外表内成长！ ——奈瓦尔《金色诗句》 一旦解释出来，它们也就失去了魅力所在，至少，请您把表达的价值让给我。我所可能犯的最后一次疯狂，就将是自以为是个诗人。 ——奈瓦尔
