Die Sammlung von E. E. Cummings Gedichten zeigt einen Querschnitt durch das lyrische Gesamtwerk des Dichters. Entstanden zwischen 1904 und 1962, stellt es nach wie vor einen Schatz von an die Tausend nie zuvor ins Deutsche übertragenen Gedichten dar. «Cummings heute zu übertragen, da die meisten seiner extravaganten Stilmittel und extrem pathetischen poetischen Forderungen überholt scheinen, heißt unter die Oberfläche zu sehen. Ein jedes besseres Gedicht hat den Anspruch, Körper zu sein. Es wölbt sich mir zu, um Entfernung zu verringern. Wortschöpfungen, Syntaxbrüche, Lettern-Fakes... alles, was die Dichter stiften, ist dabei als Einladung zu verstehen. Bei Cummings allerdings bemüht sich der Gedichtkörper unter Einsatz aller Kräfte um Sinnlichkeit. Jeder Buchstabe, jedes Komma erhält eine einmalige Präsenz. Das Lautliche wird Bild, das Bildliche Laut.» (Mirko Bonné)

At the time of his death in 1962, E. E. Cummings was, next to Robert Frost, the most widely read poet in America. Combining Thoreau's controlled belligerence with the brash abandon of an uninhibited bohemian, Cummings, together with Pound, Eliot, and William Carlos Williams, helped bring about the twentieth-century revolution in literary expression. He is recognized on the one hand as the author of some of the most beautiful lyric poems written in the English language, and on the other as one of the most inventive American poets of his time in the worlds of Richard Kostelanetz, "the major American poet of the middle-twentieth-century."
