Edward Estlin Cummings Boeken

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."

Lyrical verses span the career of a twentieth-century American poet, and illuminate his concern for the future of humanity.

In 1917 young Edward Estlin Cummings went to France as a volunteer with a Red Cross ambulance unit on the western front. But his free-spirited, insubordinate ways soon got him tagged as a possible enemy of La Patrie, and he was summarily tossed into a French concentration camp at La Ferte-Mace in Normandy. Under the vilest conditions, Cummings found fulfillment of his ever elusive quest for freedom. The Enormous Room, his account of his four-month confinement, reads like a latter-day Pilgrim's Progress, a journey into dispossession, to a place among the most debased and deprived of human creatures. Cummings's hopeful tone reflects the essential paradox of his existence: to lose everything is to become free, and so to be saved.

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)

Diese inzwischen schon „klassische“ Ausgabe ausgewählter Gedichte des amerikanischen Malers, Dichters und Schriftstellers E. E. Cummings erschien zuerst im Jahre 1958, wurde später überarbeitet und erweitert, zuletzt 1994, und hat sich über 15.000 mal verkauft – fast schon ein paradoxes Resultat für einen Dichter, der schrieb, seine Gedichte seien nicht für „mostpeople“, wie er es in seiner charakteristischen Wort-Neuzusammensetzungen nennt. Cummings hat die lyrische Sprache der amerikanischen Literatur mit seinen Wortspielen und typographischen Experimenten, seiner Lust an Provokation und Konfrontation, an Erotik und Urbanität, existentiellem Wagnis und Kreatürlichkeit unendlich erweitert und bereichert. Seine Gedichte sind verspielt und wuchtig zugleich, intelligent und komisch, schmissig und erotisch – und immer wieder neu zu entdecken.

Der Autor beginnt seine Nichtvorträge mit der Warnung, dass er nicht die geringste Absicht hat, sich als Dozent zu präsentieren.
