About

Susan Cheever traces the development of the poet and his work. She takes us from Cummings seemingly idyllic childhood in Cambridge, Massachusetts, through his years at Harvard where the radical verse of Ezra Pound lured the young writer away from the politeness of the traditional nature poem, and towards a more adventurous, sexually conscious form.

Reviews

"Drawing on letters, archival material, and several more comprehensive biographies, Cheever distills the major events of Cummings life along with reflections on the challenge of interpreting her subjects self-destructive behavior, anti-Semitism, sexuality, and egotism?This sympathetic life may win Cummings a new generation of readers."
