I’m officially in mourning, because Maurice Sendak passed away today. I’ll probably be posting tons ofWhere the Wild Things Arepictures as a woefully inadequate attempt to commemorate this great writer/illustrator. And of course, let’s not forget his many other literary/artistic contributions— take a moment to look them up!
There’s a short article about Sendak’s life and work, as well as his recent decline in health, here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/08/maurice-sendak-dead_n_1499243.html?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D158696

I’m writing a paper on e e cummings (again).

It sort of kills me to be capitalizing his name in my paper, because I am one of those who prefers to keep his name the way he kept his poems: free and loosely structured (though cummings was quite the master of classical poetic forms).

Anyway, in my research I found a particular poem that I wanted to share; it’s one of the many cummings works that make me swoon:

dying is fine)but Death

?o
baby
i

wouldn’t like

Death if Death
were
good:for

when(instead of stopping to think)you

begin to feel it,dying
’s miraculous
why?be

cause dying is

perfectly natural;perfectly
putting
it mildly lively(but

Death

is strictly
scientigic
& artificial &

evil & legal)

we thank thee
god
almighty for dying

(forgive us,o life!the sin of Death
