Four months after Cummingss death in September 1962, his widow, the photographer Marion Morehouse, collected the typescripts of 29 new poems. These poems, as well as uncollected poems published only in periodicals up to that time, make up 73 Poems. This is the final volume in Liverights reissue of Cummingss individual volumes of poetry, with texts and settings based on E. E. Cummings: The Complete Poems 1904-1962.
