I have always liked e e Cummings poetry. I was surprised to find this. He was volunteering in the ambulance corps in France and was imprisoned as a spy because of a mistranslated letter his friend wrote. His family searched for him frantically then somehow found him and not until his father wrote a letter to the President did the French officially locate him and he was released.
This book is not poetry.
