Since Feeling Is First by E.E. Cummings

Is love truly madness? It's certainly foolishness for Poet E.E. Cummings. In this episode I explore Since Feeling is First , one of his more famous love poems that looks at the way in which love almost always overrides reason. It is a fine example of the mastery Cummings held over form, grammar and syntax. On its surface it is a seemingly simple theme but, like all Cumming's works, that surface impression is just the beginning.
