The two poems are about cars but are metaphors on different things. she Being a brand by e.e. cummings is about sex and the other poem, Coming Home, Detroit, 1968 by Phillip Levine is about his city Detroit.

e.e. cummings talks about his car and personafies it by sayings things like “her” and saying things in relation to car parts and body parts of the woman.

Phillip driving through his town and the poem represents the destruction of his town because of the riots.

I will light a car for e.e. cummings poem representing love or a relationship by giving cars personality. I used heart cut outs as props for love and bright colors like red and blue to suggest that the cars are a guy and a gal.

Phillip Levine’s poem has a more dark tone to it so I built broken homes for props and shot through the window of his car because he looks through the the window of his car out to his town.
