AnOther E. E. Cummings

<p>As a poet Cummings was a pioneer not only in linguistic and typographic inventions but also in sound and concrete poetry. But his prose is no less experimental; he wrote memoirs essays and fiction that are constantly provocative and often radically experimental. To read the avant-garde Cummings is to read a writer who consistently broke with established norms "never to rest and never to have: only to grow." To not read the avant-garde Cummings is to not read Cummings.</p>
