e.e. cummings should be E.E. Cummings
by Charlie Morganall this lather about typography;
he simply wrote his mama one day,
saying: "I am a small eye poet."
he was always a 'small eye poet.'
he used capitals. Sorta, however
he wanted, but loved grammar rules.
so he would expect to see a letter
addressed: To: Mr. E.E. Cummings.
Him.
or him the poet may open it if
it's addressed e.e. cummings:
the poet, or maybe the Poet.
in essence, he was like any man:
misunderstood. stood missed.

Everyone should consider reading his six nonlectures given at Harvard. I believe he just wanted everyone to think about what they were reading or not. Good write Charlie. |
