yes, it's just one poem, but the playfullness of bothe e e cummings and Marc Chagall is a wonderful combination. A must find for anyone who appreciates either the artist or the author.

I love the work of Marc Chagall, but not so much of E. E Cummings. ( )

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0941807002, Hardcover)

The poem may i feel said he is a sensually ecstatic tribute to love and a humorous salute to the mating rituals between men and women. Originally published in Cumming's 1935 No Thanks collection, may i feel said he is one of the poet's most original and best loved works.
Marc Chagall's floating lovers and violin-playing horses are the perfect complement to Cumming's whimiscal poem. Chagall's lyrical work always reflected the artist's fascination with the many facets of love. "Is it not true that painting and color are inspired by love?" he wrote in 1973, at the age of 85. The twenty-three diverse paintings in this collection include many works that have rarely been seen in public.
may i feel said he
is a stunning marriage of art and poetry and a giddy celebration of love.

Presents the lyrics of American poet E. E. Cummings's poem "may i feel said he," complemented with paintings by Russian artist Marc Chagall.
