This is not homework.I'm 68 and retired.

The terms are a composition of \left(\frac{1}{z}\right)^k and e^z . There should be a nice geometric series formula for this.

Yes. e^{kz}= (e^z)^k and (-1)^{k-1}e^{kz}= -((-1)e^z)^k.

So use the fact that the geometric series \sum_{k=0}^\infty ar^k is a/(1- r).
