The poems in \u003cem\u003eOne Times One\u003c\/em\u003e have as their theme \"oneness and the means (one times one) whereby that oneness is achieved--love,\" in the words of Cummings's biographer Richard S. Kennedy. Besides new expressions of universal concerns, Cummings writes here in a lyric and optimistic mode, drawing portraits of people dear to him in New Hampshire and New York City's Greenwich Village.

He was also a playwright, a painter, and a writer of prose. Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, he studied at Harvard University and, during World War I, served with an ambulance corps in France. He spent three months in a French detention camp and subsequently wrote \u003cem\u003eThe Enormous Room\u003c\/em\u003e, a highly acclaimed criticism of World War I. After the war, Cummings returned to the States and published his first collection of poetry, \u003cem\u003eTulips \u0026amp; Chimneys\u003c\/em\u003e, which was characterized by his innovative style: pushing the boundaries of language and form while discussing love, nature, and war with sensuousness and glee. He spent the rest of his life painting, writing poetry, and enjoying widespread popularity and success.","brand":"W. W.
