ABOUT THE AUTHOR

E. E. Cummings

Edward Estlin Cummings was born on October 14, 1894 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was a poet, visual artist, essayist and playwright, being considered one of the main modernist poets in the English language. Graduated from Harvard University in 1916, he went to France the following year, serving in World War I as an ambulance driver. Accused of treason, he was imprisoned for three months and from this experience his first published work was born, The Huge Room (1922). An avant-garde in the use of language, he would launch more than two dozen titles throughout his life, including the poetry books Tulips and Chimneys (1923) and XLI Poems and & (1925), the play Him (1927) and the volume of essays i:six nonlectures (1953, translated into Portugal with the title eu:seis inconferences). He received, among other distinctions, the Bollingen Prize for Poetry in 1958. He died on September 3, 1962.
