Cummings’s ninth book of poems 1×1 was first published in 1944. The poems in One Times One have as their theme “oneness and the means (one times one) whereby that oneness is achieved—love,” in the words of Cummings’s biographer Richard S. Kennedy. Besides new expressions of universal concerns, Cummings writes here in a lyric and optimistic mode, drawing portraits of people dear to him in New Hampshire and New York City’s Greenwich Village.Â
