Tulips and Chimneys

Tulips and Chimneys is the first collection of poetry by E. E. Cummings, published in 1923.

This collection is the first dedicated exclusively to Cummings's poetry;[1] his work had been published previously alongside others' in Eight Harvard Poets.

Though most now know the title to be Tulips & Chimneys (with an ampersand), Cummings's original title request was disregarded by the publisher Thomas Seltzer, who changed the ampersand to the word "and.

"[1] Eventually, the book would come to be published together with the collection "&", under Cummings's original title.

Tulips and Chimneys features, among others, the poems "All in green went my love riding", "Thy fingers make early flowers of", "Buffalo Bill's",[2] and "Puella Mea".
