By employing the modernist devices of fragmentation,
recombination, and accentuated blank space, E. E. Cummings
engages singularly with being on earth. This ecological
achievement was largely ignored by the New Critics, and
the subsequent
semiotic
spirit which has been holding that
the sign hardly has to do with concrete existence on earth
ironically perpetuated the neglect. In this book
Etienne
Terblanche shows that Cummings s ecology relocates his
oeuvre
and status in contemporary discourse. For, the poet
follows, mimes, and connects with the unfolding changes of
earthly existence and growth
—
what he views as the Tao of
beings
—
in his lyricism, sex poems, satire, and visual-verbal
poems. This is true especially of the elusive manner or how
of his poetry overall. Careful ecocritical reading of this
active culture-nature integrity in his poetry brings about an
imperative new understanding and placement of his project.
It further serves to show that, in their different ways,T. S.
Eliot and Ezra Pound engage with nature in a similar way,
thus again accentuating the importance of Cummings s poetic
project to the neglected and vital ecocritical perception of
modernism in poetry.
