In 1917, young Edward Estlin Cummings went to France as a volunteer with a Red Mix ambulance product on the european entry. But his free-spirited, insubordinate ways soon got him tagged just as one foe of La Patrie, and he was summarily tossed into a French awareness camp at La Ferte-Mace in Normandy. Under the vilest conditions, Cummings found fulfillment of his ever elusive search for liberty. The Enormous Room, his consideration of his four-month confinement, is similar to a latter-day Pilgrim's Progress, a quest into dispossession, to a place among the most debased and deprived of people creatures. Cummings's hopeful build reflects the essential paradox of his life: to lose everything is to be free, therefore to be kept.
