The most notable work of fiction from our most beloved modernist poet, The Enormous Room was one of the greatest yet still not fully recognized American literary works to emerge out of World War I. Drawing on E. E. Cummings s experiences in France as a volunteer ambulance driver, this novel takes us through a series of mishaps that led to the poet s being arrested for treason and imprisoned. Out of this trauma Cummings produced a work like no other a story of oppression and injustice told with his characteristic linguistic energy and unflappable exuberance, which celebrates the spirit of the individual and offers a brave and brilliant opposition in the face of the inhumanity of war. Illustrated with drawings Cummings made while imprisoned in France and featuring an illuminating new introduction by Susan Cheever, this reissued edition offers a unique and multifaceted lens onto the inner life of the poet in his youth and demands recognition by a twenty-first-century readership."
E. E. Cummings (1894-1962) was among the most influential, widely read, and revered modernist poets. His many awards included an Academy of American Poets Fellowship, two Guggenheim Fellowships, and the Bollingen Prize. Among his many volumes are The Enormous Room and Tulips & Chimneys. Susan Cheever, a novelist and memoirist and the author of E. E. Cummings: A Life, lives in New York.
