His pub­lished works include Poetry: An Introduction to Its Form and Art and Logic, Rhetoric and Style (both with C. A. McLaughlin).

“I admire the efficiency and thoroughness of this book. Almost all of the factual con­clusions and informative observations are in­disputable… Cummings’s vision emerges significantly in his middle and later volumes, as Mr. Friedman points out.”—R. E. Wegner, American Literature“The poems are discussed with expert­ness and with critical joy, by Mr. Friedman, who treats cummings’s books in this full and notable study. It deals not only with the poet’s lyric and comic aspects, but very im­portantly examines the ‘basic mystical in­sight which is the real foundation of his work.’ Twentieth-century readers owe e. e. cummings a great debt for being the grand and joyful poet that he was; they also owe a debt to Mr. Friedman for interpreting his writings.”—Harry T. Moore
