Abstract
Colophon: Fifty copies of E.E. Cummings' poem 52, from 73 poems, were printed at The Logan Elm Press & Paper Mill, the Arts-of-the-Book Laboratory of The Ohio State University College of the Arts, Department of Art Education, Columbus, Ohio, from type handset by Michael Drake and Franny Norris, students from the Franklin County Board of Mental Retardation, on the occasion of a journey by Dr. Kenneth & Sylvia Marantz (November 2, 1981) in the tradition of F. Magellan (1519) & Phileas Fodd (1872). The logographs used in this translation are Blissymbolics. Developed by Charles Bliss as an international symbol system, they can be used by some who cannot speak, and like Chinese characters, they reinforce the visual qualities of poetry.
