Excerpt: anyone lived in a pretty how town is a poem written by E. E. Cummings. First published in 1940, the poem details the lives of residents in a nameless town. Like much of Cummings' work, the poem is actually untitled, so critics use the first line to refer to the poem. Cummings often wrote in a manner that did not follow standard English syntax and punctuation. This style is evident in the poem's first line, which is written in all lowercase letters and contains the unlikely phrase 'pretty how town'. The author used repetition to show the effects of time. In the poem, Cummings states the lines, spring summer autumn winter,(3) and sun moon stars rain,(8) repeatedly. Cummings did this to show the passage of time. In repeating these lines he changes the order of the seasons, autumn winter spring summer,(11) and stars rain sun moon,(21). The poem was adapted into a short film by George Lucas. ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=55656
