yes please. My favorite American poets are Sylvia Plath and ee cummings. And this is ee cumming's most iconic poem.

I can't pass this one up, E.E. Cummings is quite possibly my favorite poet. I always enter these things & never get picked, but I'm crossing my fingers it works this time.

I'll be tweeting & blogging this!!

kelly ann said...

oh my goodness this is amazing! one of my best friends is having a birthday in a couple of weeks, and this is our favorite poem... we live in different states and always tell each other "i carry your heart with me, i carry it in my heart, and i'm never without it", whenever we start to miss each other. i would love to give this to her as a birthday gift when she comes to visit, she would be so touched. :)

thanks for doing this giveaway!
