Sumerian literature as we know it mostly surrounds the Epic of Gilgamesh, because (iirc) most Sumerian records are about business transactions and other miscellaneous records kept on those clay cylinders. There is a book by Samuel Noah Kramer (widely considered one of the best Sumerian scholars and translators) that explains their mythological stories with great commentary about the organizational strategy of Sumerian poetry/literature. I loved the book and used it as one of my sources for a graduate level course in Religious Studies at my university.
