Zusammenfassung: | Throughout the 45 years of his professional writing life, Cummings consistently celebrated the ordinary, reviled pretentiousness, scourged conformity, experimented boldly with words and syntax and punctuation, and wrote some of the most erotic and tender love poetry in the English language. Yet Cummings could also be difficult, truculent, opinionated, wrong-headed, emotional, bigoted and egotistical. Dubbed by Ezra Pound as "Whitman's one living descendant," Cummings sang of himself and of America in a unique voice, as resonant now as it was a half-century ago. Charismatic and famous among the famous, Cummings always seemed to be in the right place at the right time, and was a major presence wherever he resided, whether in Cambridge, Europe or New York. He counted some of the most important artists of his time as friends: Pound, Hemingway, Dylan Thomas and many more.--From publisher description. |

About the Author
Throughout the forty-five years of his pro¬
fessional writing life, Edward Estlin
Cummings consistently celebrated the
ordinary, reviled pretentiousness, scourged
conformity, experimented boldly with words and
syntax and punctuation, and wrote some of the
most erotic and tender love poetry in the English
language. Yet Cummings could also be difficult,
truculent, opinionated, wrong-headed, emotional,
bigoted and egotistical. Dubbed by Ezra Pound as
Whitman s one living descendant, Cummings
sang of himself and of America in a unique voice,
as resonant now as it was a half-century ago.
Charismatic and famous among the famous,
Cummings always seemed to be in the right place
at the right time, and was a major presence wher¬
ever he resided, whether in Cambridge, Europe
or New York. He counted some of the most
important artists of his time as friends: Pound,
Heminswav. Dvlan Thomas and many more.
For E.E. Cummings: A Biography, the author
had unprecedented access to all of Cummings s
papers
consultations with two psychoanalysts, an auto¬
biographical novel, and a carefully prepared
manuscript containing more than one hundred
blatantly erotic poems.
