Summary

'the world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful'

Tulips and Chimneys is E. E. Cummings' first published collection of poetry, introducing readers to his bold, lyrical voice and signature style.

Blending romantic imagery with experimental form, the poems challenge traditional grammar and structure while exploring themes of love, nature, individuality, and the complexities of the human spirit. With delicate irreverence and emotional depth, Cummings reimagines what poetry can be—playful yet profound, intimate yet universal. This collection marks the beginning of a poetic legacy that would influence generations.

E. E. Cummings (1894 – 1962) was an American poet, playwright, essayist and painter. He was a prolific writer of poetry, producing over 2,900 poems in his lifetime, and was famed for his modernist free-form structure, idiosyncratic syntax and lower-case letter styling. He is often considered as one of the most important American poets of the twentieth century.
