E. E. Cummings

Edward Estlin Cummings was born in 1894 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the son of a Harvard professor who became a Unitarian minister, and himself graduated from Harvard. Enlisted in 1917 as an ambulance driver in France, he was arrested with a friend whose letters had displeased the censors and spent nearly three months at the La Ferté-Macé camp, until his father's efforts secured his release. He called himself a poet and a painter, and painted all his life. He died in New Hampshire in 1962.
