This biography of E. E. Cummings (1894-1962) pays less attention to his avant-garde ideas about poetry (particularly punctuation and capitals) than it does to his love life, concentrating on Cummings`s inability to sustain a successful marriage, and ties his problems with women to his rigidly puritanical upbringing as the son of a devout Harvard professor. However, Christopher Sawyer-Lauganno also takes a hard look at Cummings` inventive poetry to find some new and revealing insights, and does not hesitate to characterize Cummings as a major American poet.
