Poetry
www.PoemHunter.com-TheWorld'sPoetryArchive
DespiteCummings'consanguinitywithavant-gardestyles,muchofhiswork
isquitetraditional.Manyofhispoemsaresonnets,albeitoftenwitha
moderntwist,andheoccasionallymadeuseofthebluesformandacrostics.
Cummings'poetryoftendealswiththemesofloveandnature,aswellasthe
relationshipoftheindividualtothemassesandtotheworld.Hispoemsare
alsooftenrifewithsatire.
Whilehispoeticformsandthemesshareanaffinitywiththeromantic
tradition,Cummings'workuniversallyshowsaparticularidiosyncrasyof
syntax,orwayofarrangingindividualwordsintolargerphrasesand
sentences.Manyofhismoststrikingpoemsdonotinvolveanytypographical
orpunctuationinnovationsatall,butpurelysyntacticones.
AswellasbeinginfluencedbynotablemodernistsincludingGertrudeStein
andEzraPound,Cummings'earlyworkdrewupontheimagistexperiments
ofAmyLowell.Later,hisvisitstoParisexposedhimtoDadaandsurrealism,
whichinturnpermeatedhiswork.Hebegantorelyonsymbolismand
allegorywhereheonceusedsimilieandmetaphor.Inhislaterwork,he
rarelyusedcomparisonsthatrequiredobjectsthatwerenotpreviously
mentionedinthepoem,choosingtouseasymbolinstead.Duetothis,his
laterpoetryisfrequentlymorelucid,moremoving,andmoreprofoundthan
hisearlier.Cummingsalsolikedtoincorporateimageryofnatureanddeath
intomuchofhispoetry.
Whilesomeofhispoetryisfreeverse(withnoconcernforrhymeormeter),
manyhavearecognizablesonnetstructureof14lines,withanintricate
rhymescheme.Anumberofhispoemsfeatureatypographicallyexuberant
style,withwords,partsofwords,orpunctuationsymbolsscatteredacross
thepage,oftenmakinglittlesenseuntilreadaloud,atwhichpointthe
meaningandemotionbecomeclear.Cummings,whowasalsoapainter,
understoodtheimportanceofpresentation,andusedtypographyto"painta

FollowinghisautobiographicalnovelTheEnormousRoom,Cummings'first
publishedworkwasacollectionofpoemsentitledTulipsandChimneys
(1923).Thisworkwasthepublic'sfirstencounterwithhischaracteristic
eccentricuseofgrammarandpunctuation.
SomeofCummings'mostfamouspoemsdonotinvolvemuch,ifany,odd
typographyorpunctuation,butstillcarryhisunmistakablestyle,particularly
inunusualandimpressionisticwordorder.
Cummings'workoftendoesnotactinaccordancewiththeconventional
combinatorialrulesthatgeneratetypicalEnglishsentences(forexample,
"theysowedtheirisn't").HisreadingsofSteinintheearlypartofthe
centuryprobablyservedasaspringboardtothisaspectofhisartistic
development.Insomerespects,Cummings'workismorestylistically
