E. E. Cummings, along with Pound, Eliot, and Williams, helped bring
about the twentieth-century revolution in literary expression. He
is recognized as the author of some of the most beautiful lyric
poems written in the English language and also as one of the most
inventive American poets of his time. Fresh and candid, by turns
earthy, tender, defiant, and romantic, Cummings's poems celebrate
the uniqueness of each individual, the need to protest the
dehumanizing force of organizations, and the exuberant power of
love. No Thanks was first published in 1935; although Cummings was
by then in mid-career, he had still not achieved recognition, and
the title refers ironically to publishers' rejections. No Thanks
contains some of Cummings's most daring literary experiments, and
it represents most fully his view of life romantic individualism.
The poems celebrate an openly felt response to the beauties of the
natural world, and they give first place to love, especially sexual
love, in all its manifestations. The volume includes such favorites
as "sonnet entitled how to run the world)," "may I feel said he,"
"Jehovah buried. Satan dead," "be of love (a little)," and the
now-famous grasshopper poem."
