i & now & him

Complete on 1 CD

In his fifth nonlecture, cummings nonlectures on selfhood & self-transcendence (or growing). He reads from his play, HIM, and reads many more of his own poems than usual, including:

"when serpents bargain for their right to squirm"

"life is more true than reason will deceive"

"one's not half two. It's two are halves of one:"

"true lovers in each happening of their hearts"

And a few others...He ends his nonlecture on self-transcendence by reading what he considers to be "the supreme expressions of those values in all literature."

Running time approximately one hour.
