First published in 1931, ViVa contains four of E. E. Cummings' most experimental poems as well as some of his most memorable. The volume includes such no-famous celebrations as "i sing of Olaf glad and big" and "if there are any heavens my mother will (all be herself) have," along with such favorites as "Space being (don't forget to remember) Curved," "a clown's smirk in the skull of a baboon," and "somewhere I have never traveled, gladly beyond."

However, to justify my rating, there are also a few lovely little poems in this book, like "a clown's smirk in the skull of a baboon", "you", "it)It will it", "the first president to be loved by his", etcetera. ( incidentally, "etcetera" is one of my favourite of Cummings's poems, but not part of this collection).
Some of my favourite lines from the collection:
"Rain is no respecter of persons
Snow doesn't give a soft white damn Whom it touches"
"for only Nobody knows
where truth grows why
birds fly and
especially who the moon is"
and of course the much-quoted (by Tennessee Williams and Woody Allen, amongst others)
"Nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands" ( )
