These are some of the editor’s favorite poems.
Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll
anyone lived in a pretty how town by E.E Cummings
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost
Punishment by Seamus Heaney
Rape Joke by Patricia Lockwood
The Orange Bottle by Joshua Mehigan
The Quiet House by Charlote Mew
All My Pretty Ones by Anne Sexton
A Red Wheelbarrow by Jack Spicer
Beowulf by Unknown (translated by William Morris and A. J. Wyatt)
My favorite by EE. Cummings is She Being Brand New. I love the line breaks and the overlap of subject. Thanks for the follow!
I quite enjoy She Being Brand New too. What I love about anyone lived in a pretty how town are the first two lines. They’re so lyrical and beautiful and different. He was an original. Thank you for the follow, too!
I recently illustrated an excerpt from [-In Just] by EE Cummings on my blog –

I hope you stop by for a visit – I’m a recent transplant to Boston – so now I guess I’m a New England poet!
Cheers,
Marcy
