E.E. Cummings: a Life

From the author of American Bloomsbury (“Beguiling” —Publishers Weekly), Louisa May Alcott (“Fascinating . . . Another splendid piece of work with hidden depths by Susan Cheever”—Michael Korda), and Home Before Dark (“Moving and brilliantly restrained”—The New York Times Book Review), a major reassessment of the life and work of the novelist, painter, and playwright considered to be one of America’s preeminent twentieth-century poets, our generation’s beloved heretic. At the time of his death in 1962, at age sixty-eight, he was, after Robert Frost, the most widely read poet in the United States.
