PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A fictional account of the poet's four-month confinement in France during World War I. A volunteer with a Red Cross ambulance unit on the western front, Cummings and a friend were (falsely) imprisoned in a French camp at La Ferte-Mace in Normandy for bad behavior. His witty and absorbing account of the experience is also the first of his many published challenges to authority. First published in 1922, this Liveright edition of the original manuscript edited George James Firmage, includes Cumming's drawings and material excised from the first edition.
