Synopses & Reviews
Cummings was a pioneer in sound and concrete poetry. He worked with the traditional form of the sonnet until he made it all his own through linguistic and typographic inventions that have never been properly recognized. His prose is no less experimental; he wrote memoirs, essays, and fiction that are constantly provocative and often radically experimental.
