Terblanche, Etienne. E. E. Cummings : poetry and ecology / Etienne Terblanche. Amsterdam : Rodopi, 2012. 1 online resource (260 p.) text txt computer c online resource cr Nature, culture and literature ; 8 Description based upon print version of record. English Preliminary Material -- Acknowledgements -- Preface -- Cummings’s poetic status and his eco-logos -- The rise of Cummings’s ecological status -- The scope of Cummings’s poetic ecology -- The manner and achievement of Cummings’s poetic ecology -- A modernist reconfiguration? Cummings, Eliot, Pound, and the modernist poetic eco-logos -- Bibliography -- Index. By employing the modernist devices of fragmentation, recombination, and accentuated blank space, E. E. Cummings engages singularly with being on earth. This ecological achievement was largely ignored by the New Critics, and the subsequent semiotic spirit which has been holding that the sign hardly has to do with concrete existence on earth ironically perpetuated the neglect. In this book Etienne Terblanche shows that Cummings’s ecology relocates his oeuvre and status in contemporary discourse. For, the poet follows, mimes, and connects with the unfolding changes of earthly existence and growth—what he views as the ‘Tao’ of being—in his lyricism, sex poems, satire, and visual-verbal poems. This is true especially of the elusive manner or ‘how’ of his poetry overall. Careful ecocritical reading of this active culture-nature integrity in his poetry brings about an imperative new understanding and placement of his project. It further serves to show that, in their different ways, T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound engage with nature in a similar way, thus again accentuating the importance of Cummings’s poetic project to the neglected and vital ecocritical perception of modernism in poetry. Includes bibliographical references and index. American poetry 20th century History and criticism. Poetry, Modern 20th century History and criticism. Nature in literature. Cummings, E. E.
