Product description
About the Author
E. E. Cummings (1894–1962) was among the most influential, widely read, and revered modernist poets. He was also a playwright, a painter, and a writer of prose. Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, he studied at Harvard University and, during World War I, served with an ambulance corps in France. He spent three months in a French detention camp and subsequently wrote The Enormous Room, a highly acclaimed criticism of World War I. After the war, Cummings returned to the States and published his first collection of poetry, Tulips & Chimneys, which was characterized by his innovative style: pushing the boundaries of language and form while discussing love, nature, and war with sensuousness and glee. He spent the rest of his life painting, writing poetry, and enjoying widespread popularity and success.

Tulips and Chimneys are poems which begin early in cummings carreer but are stunning in their simplicity, clarity and maturity. His erotocism, imagery and sensitivity to the beauty of nature manifest themselves in the juxtaposition of thought and its connection to his relationship to the physical environment as he has experienced it.
I love his flow of sense as it metamorphosizes through his words. It is never without deliberate meaning.
Tulips and Chimneys is a book to carry with you in bookbag or backpack or car or leave at work or in the bathroom or wherever you have a minute to restore your sense of wonder; of the wonder of what one person's mind can do to delight.

I found EE Cumming’s writing unique and interesting. I recently read Shelly’s poems which I didn’t really care for, but I enjoyed these poems.
