Abstract

Edward Estlin Cummings is one of the most prolific American poets of the 21st century, therefore there are many reviews written regarding his work. Some of these reviews are in favor; nevertheless, like all poets, he has his share of negative criticism as well. The article with the title “E.E. Cummings” on “The Poetry Foundation” displays varied points of view made by numerous critics related to the works of Edward Estlin Cummings including the criticisms of Norman Friedman and Jenny Penberthy. This extended essay deals with the accuracy of the two criticisms made by the aforementioned critics in terms of the extent that they can be applied to in four of Cummings’ poems. The first section of this research is an introduction to the origin of the research question as well as the research question “To what do Norman Friedman’s and Jenny Penberthy’s criticisms apply to E.E. Cummings’ poems?”. The remaining parts try to justify the reasons for support or refusal of the claims put forth by Norman Friedman and Jenny Penberthy through the analysis of four of Cummings’ poems which are, with their respective analysis order, “i carry your heart with me”, “anyone lived in a pretty how town”, “i thank You God for this most amazing” and “somewhere i have never travelled gladly beyond”. Furthermore, the conclusion will put forth the justifiability of the two criticisms and give concluding remarks as to why the criticisms are accurate or irrelevant based on the analysis of each poem.
