Tulips & Chimneys
Tulips and Chimneys is a collection of poetry by E. E. Cummings, published in 1926. The collection is the first dedicated exclusively to Cummings' poetry; his work had been published previously alongside others' in Eight Harvard Poets. Though most of the poems in this collection are conventional both in form and typography, a number of them feature the eccentric and unorthodox poetic style for which Cummings is well known. Cummings would have preferred that the title be "Tulips & Chimneys" (with an ampersand), but his request was disregarded by the publisher. [1] Tulips and Chimneys feature, among others, the poems "All in green went my love riding" and 'Buffalo Bill's".
