Buy books by E.E. Cummings

American poet who is best remembered for the unconventional layout, punctuation and capitalisation of his work.  Cummings produced two novels and several plays as well as over nine hundred poems. He studied at Harvard and received a B.A. and a Masters in English and Classical Studies.  His name is often written as e. e. cummings by his publishers to echo the unconventional capitalisation of his poetry, however Cummings himself did not approve of this.
