E.E. Cummings
Word maven Patricia T. (Woe is I) O’Conner explores some of the strange irregularities of the English language. Then, Christopher Sawyer-Laucanno tells us about his new biography of E.E. Cummings—an in-depth look at the poet’s life drawn from diary entries, records of visits with psychoanalysts, and autobiographical writings. In her latest novel, March, Geraldine Brooks fleshes out the life of the absent father from Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. Finally, Kurt Eichenwald—a senior writer and investigative reporter at The New York Times—offers a blow-by-blow account of the implosion of Enron: Conspiracy of Fools.
