Cummings was born in 1894 in a family of college professors in Cambridge, near Boston. His parents had taught literature at Harvard University. This may have had a certain impact on Cummings’ formal adoption of literary creation in the future. In 1916, Cummings graduated from Harvard University with a Master of Arts degree. During the First World War, he went to France as an ambulance driver. There, he was captured and jailed.
