We find here not only Cummings the poet--rebel and curmudgeon, lyric writer and satirist--but also Cummings the painter, the memoirist, the playwright, the letter writer, and the essayist. It's exciting to encounter both familiar and little known works. They are sure to delight and instruct, to puzzle and surprise. While revealing the modernist's historical contexts, these pages help to bring to life Cummings's spatial and typographical innovations, his visual energy and verbal wit.\" --JAHAN RAMAZANI, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eUniversity of Virginia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Norton Critical Edition includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e166 poems spanning the range of Cummings's career, selections of his prose and dramatic writing, twelve paintings and sketches, and three facsimiles of his drafts--the first ever annotated and cross-genre collection of his work aimed at student readers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnotations, headnotes, and a thorough introduction by Milton A.
