E.E. Cummings

__ Biography __ Edward Estlin Cummings was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts on October 14, 1894. His parents always encouraged him to develop his creative gifts. His first poems were published at Cambridge Latin high school in the Cambridge Review, the school newspaper. He used Latin and Greek in his poetry. Cummings studied in Harvard from 1911 to 1916, and he graduated with a master arts degree in English and classical studies in 1916. The 1920’s was perhaps Cummings’ most productive and unorthodox period. Cummings was greatly affected by the death of his father, after the tragic train accident his works show tragedy and sadness. He died in New Hampshire in 1962 at the age of 67, and just when America was ready to appreciate his work.
