News, Notes, & Correspondence
News, Notes, & Correspondence The Theatre of E. E. Cummings Published In the News, Notes & Correspondence section of Spring 18, we re- ported that a new edition of The Theatre of E. E. Cummings was in the works, and—behold!—the book appeared on schedule at the beginning of 2013. This book, which contains the plays Him, Anthropos, and Santa Claus, along with the ballet Tom, provides readers with a handy edition of Cummings’ theatre works. The book also has an afterword by Norman Friedman, “E. E. Cummings and the Theatre,” which we printed in Spring 18 (94-108). The Thickness of the Coin In February, 2012 we received a card from Zelda and Norman Fried- man. They wrote: We are okay and want to tell you that the older we get the more skillful and wise E. E. Cummings becomes. Zelda has been trying to locate the line “love makes the little thickness of the coin” and came upon it accidentally in “hate blows a bubble of despair into” across the page in Complete Poems from “love is more thicker than forget”—the poem where she thought it might be. The Cummings-Clarke Papers at the Massachusetts Historical Society *In October 2012, Peter Steinberg of the Massachusetts Historical Society wrote to inform us that some of the Cummings-Clarke family papers con- taining “some materials by E. E. Cummings” had “recently been processed and made available for research.” Peter sent us the following “link to the finding aid / collection guide in hopes that you or your society members might be interested in learning about [the papers and] visiting the MHS”: http://www.masshist.org/findingaids/doc.cfm?fa=fa0367. -

E. E. Cummings Biography
E. E. Cummings Biography http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets/e__e__cummings/biography Edward Estlin Cummings was born October 14, 1894 in the town of Cambridge Massachusetts. His father, and most constant source of awe, Edward Cummings, was a professor of Sociology and Political Science at Harvard University. In 1900, Edward left Harvard to become the ordained minister of the South Congregational Church, in Boston. As a child, E.E. attended Cambridge public schools and lived during the summer with his family in their summer home in Silver Lake, New Hampshire. (Kennedy 8-9) E.E. loved his childhood in Cambridge so much that he was inspired to write disputably his most famous poem, "In Just-" (Lane pp. 26-27) Not so much in, "In Just-" but Cummings took his father's pastoral background and used it to preach in many of his other poems. In "you shall above all things be glad and young," Cummings preaches to the reader in verse telling them to love with naivete and innocence, rather than listen to the world and depend on their mind. Enlarge Picture Attending Harvard, Cummings studied Greek and other languages (p. 62). In college, Cummings was introduced to the writing and artistry of Ezra Pound, who was a large influence on E.E. and many other artists in his time (pp. 105-107). After graduation, Cummings volunteered for the Norton-Haries Ambulance Corps. En-route to France, Cummings met another recruit, William Slater Brown. The two became close friends, and as Brown was arrested for writing incriminating letters home, Cummings refused to separate from his friend and the two were sent to the La Ferte Mace concentration camp. -
EDWARD ESTLIN CUMMINGS (1894-1962) - Poetry, Prose and Politics Or La Salle Enorme Revisited
EDWARD ESTLIN CUMMINGS (1894-1962) - Poetry, Prose and Politics or La Salle Enorme Revisited. Cummings has been regarded as one of the leading lyricists America has produced. His writing is well known for its typographical eccentricity. Neither of these aspects is my primary concern but when they intrude upon quotations (as they inevitably will) I ask that they at least be tolerated, if not appreciated. Cumming's novel The Enormous Room is about politics - not party politics nor petty local government-type politics, but petty world politics. The novel is only a 'novel' because it doesn't give the actual names of in- dividuals involved, otherwise it is a piece of documentary prose. In April 1917 Cummings and his friend Slater Brown joined the Norton-Har/es Amb- ulance Corps (an American volunteer unit serving in France). On September 21st, as a result of some letters of Brown being intercepted by a French censor, both Cummings and Brown were arrested and moved to La Ferte Mace detention/concentration camp. Cummings was not released until December 19th and then only as a result of desperate letters written by his father to the President of the United States. The Enormous Room is con- cerned with the seventy-odd men who lived in the eighty foot by forty foot room at the prison, and the manner in which they reacted to the confinement and torture. One of the most amazing aspects the two Americans noticed was their excitement at being among such a variety of characters. After his arrival and reintroduction to Brown (who had been moved independently and arrived before Cummings) Cummings asks whether or not they are in an asylum. -
News, Notes, & Correspondence a New Edition of a Miscellany
News, Notes, & Correspondence A New Edition of A Miscellany Revised Long out of print, E. E. Cummings: A Miscellany Revised (October House, 1965) has been republished by Liveright as E. E. Cummings: A Miscellany. Apart from being redesigned and reset in a new typeface, little has changed from the 1965 edition. As before, the book lacks a sorely-needed index, and has no new notes and no new introduction. (The publishers have retained Firmage’s cursory 1965 introduction and Cummings’ very short foreword to the first 1958 edition.) One welcomes the republication of the volume while regretting the lack of updated scholarly content. And curiously, the back cover of the new edition classifies this collection of essays and hu- morous squibs as “Poetry.” A Norton Critical Edition, E. E. Cummings: Selected Poetry Milton Cohen has edited a new volume in the Norton Critical Editions se- ries, called E. E. Cummings: Selected Works, with a publication date in 2019, the 125th anniversary of Cummings’ birth. The volume features an introduction, an annotated selection of poems from every collection of Cummings’ poems (with the exception of the posthumous Etcetera), and critical responses and articles, as well as excerpts from Him, The Enormous Room, and i: six nonlectures. The volume also features eight black and white reproductions of Cummings’ artwork, as well as a small group of letters, two pages of the aphorisms he called “Jottings,” and a selection of critical essays, a chronology, and a bibliography. The reproductions of Cummings’ art are prefaced by an “Overview” by Cohen, while the critical essays are fronted by a preface by Michael Webster. -
