Originally published in 1960. In E. E. Cummings: The Art of His Poetry, Norman Friedman argues that critics who have focused on what Cummings's poetry lacks have failed to judge Cummings on his strengths. Friedman identifies a main strength of Cummings as his being a "sensual mystic." The book unpacks Cummings's subject matter, devices, and symbolism, ultimately helping readers develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of Cummings's work.
Norman Friedman taught English at the University of Connecticut and specialized in E. E. Cummings. Friedman is also the author of The Magic Badge: Poems 1953–1984; (Re)Valuing Cummings: Further Essays on the Poet; and E. E. Cummings: The Growth of a Writer.
