Edward Estlin (e. e.) cummings was born in Cambridge, MA Through his poetry, e. e. cummings stabbed the establishment, the the style of cummings's poetry brings the wordprocessor http://www.poetrytodayonline.com/JUNEcp.html

June 1998 E.E Cummings Unconventional in every way, the poet Edward Estlin Cummings made striking use of grammar and punctuationso much so that he often referred to himself as "i" and signed his name in lowercase letters as well: e.e. cummings. His arts were poetry, painting, and drama, and in all of them he was an experimenter and innovator. The poetryfor which he is best rememberedwas marked by bizarre combinations of words and expressions and produced in very strange printing. But the ideas on which his poems were based were the traditional New England values of self-reliance, justice, and dissent. The unusual techniques that Cummings used served to present his ideas more forcefully and effectively than would have been the case with more ordinary styles. Cummings was born in Cambridge, Mass., on Oct. 14, 1894. He was graduated from Harvard College in 1915 and received a master's degree in 1916. During World War I he served as an ambulance driver in France. He spent six months in a detention camp because of his friendship with another American who had supposedly criticized the Allied war effort. This experience increased his distrust for all officialdom, a distrust that showed itself in many of his later poems as well as in his first book, 'The Enormous Room', published in 1922. Between the two world wars Cummings divided his time between Paris and New York City. His first book of verse was 'Tulips and Chimneys' (1923). In all he wrote 12 volumes of verse, which were collected in 'Complete Poems' (1968). The strangeness of his style was criticized by some as phony and pretentious, but others found it meaningful despite the difficulties it often posed.

6. Decapitalization Of E. E. Cummings NOT "e. e. cummings". by Norman Friedman with the usual capital letters in their usual places "E. E. cummings.'' is very friendly toward E. E. cummings' work. I believe it http://www.gvsu.edu/english/cummings/caps.htm

NOT "e. e. cummings" by Norman Friedman Spring It may at first seem of little import, but for a poet who paid such exacting attention to typography, it must be said once and for all that his name should be written and printed with the usual capital letters in their usual places: "E. E. Cummings.'' Let us dispose, first of all, of the usual reaction when his name is mentioned in conversation: "Oh, isn't he the poet who never uses capitals?" Even a casual look at his poems shows that of course he uses capitals—he uses them frequently, albeit not always conventionally. The same goes for spacing, word and line breaks, parentheses, and punctuation, not to mention grammar and syntax. What probably accounts for the common misperception that he is a lowercase poet is his usual printing of "I" as "i." Interestingly, he wrote in a letter to his mother, September 3, 1925 ( Selected Letters , F. W. Dupee and George Stade, eds., 1969, pp. 108-9): "I am a small eye poet." Notice that he capitalizes the first-person singular, distinguishing between the writer of the letter and the writer of the poetry. And in his letters he most frequently used the uppercase form, with his signature at the bottom in caps, thus:

edward estlin cummings where climbing was and bright is darkness and to fall (now wrong's the only right since brave are cowards all) e. e. cummings Edward Estlin Cummings was a poet, playwright, prose writer, and painter whose vital transcendental vision found embodiment in a startling array of innovative artistic devices, where typography, punctuation, grammar, syntax, diction, imagery, and rhythm were often pushed to their limits. After completing his B.A. and M.A. in English and classics at Harvard University by 1916, Cummings volunteered for the Norton-Harjes Ambulance Corps in France during World War I. He wrote letters back home criticizing the conduct of the war, and the nervous French censors had him arrested and sent (1917) to a detention center, where he remained for three months before being released. This harrowing prison-camp experience became the basis of his first published book, The Enormous Room (1922), one of the best American works to come out of that war. Written as a journal of his prison stay, it is heightened by an already experimental prose style and a hatred of bureaucracy that could treat helpless and innocent civilians so cruelly. On his return from France to the United States, refusing his family's wish that he seek a commission, Cummings was drafted into the army until shortly after the 1918 Armistice. He depicts military life satirically in such poems as i sing of Olaf glad and big Cummings's celebration of the individual, then, and of love and spring, was not simply sentimental, as has sometimes been claimed, for it was based on hard-won personal experience. It was also based on his transcendental vision, and it is this that provides the rationale for his artistic experimentalism. Regarding the invisible world of the spirit as dwelling within the visible world of matter, this vision sees matter as bodying forth spirit. To realize this, however, requires peeling the scales of habit from one's eyes, for society's routines tend to deaden one's insight into the organic aliveness of the world and all its creatures.

Nancy Imelda Schafer CREDIT SOURCE: All information contained herein was obtained at the Camden County Free Library, Voorhees NJ, USA introduction ummings's innovative and controversial verse places him among the most popular and widely anthologized poets of the twentieth century. While linked early in his career with the Modernist movement, he wrote poems with themes that more closely resemble the works of the New England Transcendentalists and English Romantics. Rejecting what he perceived as the small-mindedness of "mostpeople," Cummings's work celebrates the individual, as well as erotic and familiar love. biography ummings grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where his father was a sociology professor at Harvard and a noted Unitarianclergyman. Demonstrating a strong interest in poetry and art from an early age, Cummings enjoyed the full support and encouragement of his parents. He attended Harvard from 1911 to 1915, studying literature and writing daily. He eventually joined the editorial board of the Harvard Monthly, a college literary magazine, where he worked with his close friends S. Foster Damon and John Dos Passos. In his senior year he became fascinated by avant-garde art, modernism, and cubism, an interest reflected in his graduation dissertation, "The New Art." In this paper, Cummings

While at Harvard, where his father had taught before becoming a Unitarian minister, he delivered a daring commencement address on modernist artistic innovations, thus announcing the direction his own work would take. In 1917, after working briefly for a mail-order publishing company, the only regular employment in his career, Cummings volunteered to serve in the Norton-Harjes Ambulance group in France. Here he and a friend were imprisoned (on false grounds) for three months in a French detention camp. The Enormous Room (1922), his witty and absorbing account of the experience, was also the first of his literary attacks on authoritarianism. Eimi (1933), a later travel journal, focused with much less successful results on the collectivized Soviet Union. At the end of the First World War Cummings went to Paris to study art. On his return to New York in 1924 he found himself a celebrity, both for

During the First World War, Cummings worked as an ambulance driver in France, but was interned in a prison camp by the French authorities (an experience recounted in his novel, The Enormous Room ) for his outspoken anti-war convictions. After the war, he settled into a life divided between houses in rural Connecticut and Greenwich Village, with frequent visits to Paris. In his work, Cummings experimented radically with form, punctuation, spelling and syntax, abandoning traditional techniques and structures to create a new, highly idiosyncratic means of poetic expression. Later in his career, he was often criticized for settling into his signature style and not pressing his work towards further evolution. Nevertheless, he attained great popularity, especially among young readers, for the simplicity of his language, his playful mode and his attention to subjects such as war and sex. At the time of his death in 1962, he was the second most widely read poet in the United States, after Robert Frost This bio was last updated on Feb 1, 2001.

On the 100th anniversary of his birth, The New York Public Library offered an exhibit of his drawings and poems, with photos and memorabilia in a timeline under glass. My friends and I were fortunate enough to be able to go to see the physical history of this great writer. (No, we did not skip out of work!) Short Bio Edward Estlin (e. e.) Cummings was born in Cambridge, MA on October 14, 1894. He graduated Harvard with a B.A. in 1915 and an M.A. in 1916. He voluntarily joined an ambulance corps and went to France for World War I. He was imprisoned falsely for 3 months during the war in a camp, which gave him fuel for writing. After the war, he stayed in Paris to paint and write. He died in 1962 in Conway, NH. Poems Through his poetry, e. e. cummings stabbed the establishment, the abstract, the pompous society, the mechanical, the impersonal. He wrote with typographical ingenuity, showing how his presentation of words on the page could change the oral reading of the poem. The arrangement of words, syllables, and punctuation causes stress and flow that brings life to the print. I smile knowing that the style of cummings's poetry brings the word-processor spell check and grammar check to their knees - a blow against technology in an age before the personal computer. Although the poetry of politics and satire brings a powerful message, I prefer the poems of love and sweetness, longing and desire, nature and wonder. Here are some of my favorite e. e. poems.
