Intensity: An Essential Element in e. e. cummings' Aesthetic Theory and Practice - 0 views

  • cummings used the circus as a metaphor for his idea of what Art should be. At the circus, the spectator/reader is continually amazed by the "unbelievably skilful and inexorably beautiful and unimaginably dangerous things" which are "continually happening" in the circus poem. There should always be such an intense experience happening in the tent or on the poetic stage that the spectator/reader "feels that there is a little too much going on at any given moment."
  • Cummings' object was to capture the essence of each experience he recorded with the fewest possible words.
  •

E. E. Cummings: The Technique of Immediacy - 0 views

  • Each printed page discloses such violation of order that the reader is shocked: words are stretched out vertically and horizontally; capital letters jump up where they do not belong; punctuation marks intrude irregularly; lacunae appear within and between lines. Because order has been violated, it is concluded that meaning, its dependent variable, has been destroyed at the same time. And a poem without meaning is nonsense.
  • Cummings's work reveals his denial of external authority in its many aspects, for from every point of view and in every style he expounds the basic idea of individualism, the ultimate value in all his writing
  • In perceiving the world with full awareness, each man stands in momentary relationship with life, for everything whirls past him in never-ending change. When the moment has passed, it will never be repeated and can never be exactly matched. The poet's responsibility is to set down without falsification this single fragment of time. The difficulty arises in the poet's grappling with the experience of the poem so as to make it as concentrated and intense as possible and yet to produce the immediacy and directness which one would draw from the experience itself.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • conventional syntax is historical, that is, it is based on an arrangement of thoughts, feelings, and sensations already completed
  • he has felt a need to put punctuation and typography to fresh use so that they fulfill a dynamic function by approximating the sensations being recorded
  • un-ness
  • Stanzaic divisions, line breakage, and word relationships are freely varied for the indication of auditory rhythms. Ordinarily, formal indentation can be either a guide to rhyming pairs of words or else a sign that the first part of a line is missing. Under Cummings's direction such indentations denote musical rests of varying value....
  • When the purpose of his poem so demands, Cummings will isolate a word in naked exactitude and emphasis from the rest of the poem....
  • In a discussion of Cummings's use of space one must also consider his practice of fragmentizing a word so that its parts are spread over several lines. Frequently, punctuation marks will be inserted as additional controls. The total effect of such word breaking is to slow up the tempo of reading, an application of his complex system of pauses and rests....
  • The compounding of words acts to quicken the tempo ... where the gradation of increasing volume is expressed with the compression of time by the expedient of running words together and by making the explosion leap up in capital letters....
  • In order to catch the effect of “all-at-oneness,” Cummings inserts some part of the experience within the boundaries of parentheses and so suggests the simultaneousness of imagery....
  • Cummings ordinarily uses parentheses in pairs, but he will occasionally set down only the opening or closing mark. This incompletion creates the impression that the poem is but a recorded fragment of a larger continuum, most of which has been deliberately omitted. In this way, he brings the suggestion of the unsaid into the poem.
  • Cummings feels justified in rejecting the initial capital letter on the basis that he may not necessarily wish to give that word the poetic emphasis such capitalization implies
  • a capital letter is to Cummings another mark of emphasis which he may use even within the body of a word to point out part of its action and to give it new force and vigor
  • The detachment of i is much more to his liking; it dissociates the author from the speaker of the poem, leaving him free to assign emphasis where he feels it truly belongs.
