Edward Estlin Cummings (14 de octubre de 1894-3 de septiembre de 1962), habitualmente abreviado E. E. Cummings, fue un poeta, pintor, ensayista y dramaturgo estadounidense. Aunque no aprobaba la práctica, sus editores frecuentemente escribían su nombre con minúsculas para representar su sintaxis inusual. Cummings es conocido por sus poemas que rompen con toda estructura, incluyendo usos poco ortodoxos de las mayúsculas y la puntuación, en la que los puntos y comas podían incluso llegar a interrumpir oraciones y hasta palabras. Muchos de sus poemas también están escritos sin respeto a los renglones y los párrafos y algunos no parecen tener pies ni cabeza hasta que no son leídos en voz alta. A pesar del gusto de Cummings por los estilos vanguardistas y la tipografía inusual, una buena parte de su trabajo es tradicional. De hecho muchos de sus poemas son sonetos. La poesía de Cummings frecuentemente trata los temas del amor y la naturaleza, así como la sátira y la relación del individuo con las masas y el mundo. Publicó más de 900 poemas, dos novelas, muchos ensayos y una gran cantidad de dibujos, bocetos y pinturas. Es considerado una de las voces más importantes de la poesía del siglo XX.
