We have another ee cummings in the making

'In his work, Cummings experimented radically with form, punctuation, spelling and syntax, abandoning traditional techniques and structures to create a new, highly idiosyncratic means of poetic expression.'

 

It drives me nuts, I really can't stand it. Here is a good example, note the fact that he cannot be a**ed with the normal rules of punctuation.

 

maggie and milly and molly and may

 

maggie and milly and molly and may

went down to the beach(to play one day)

 

and maggie discovered a shell that sang

so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and

 

milly befriended a stranded star

whose rays five languid fingers were;

 

and molly was chased by a horrible thing

which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

 

may came home with a smooth round stone

as small as a world and as large as alone.

 

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)

it's always ourselves we find in the sea

[Socksy Squirrel]

To put it simply, he was either a genius or an idiosyncratic poseur of the first water

what wrong with that i can read it fine and its just a bit of punctuation

not long till 12 pages

[Socksy Squirrel]

Cummings knew what the rules were, BA and MA from Harvard. He could probably have taught anyone a thing or two but he chose to reinterpret the rule book

Try reading Molly Bloom's Soliloquy from the end of Ulysses by James Joyce. It is just one chapter long sentence in which the ideas flow in to each other. It may be one of the cleverest things ever done in English literature.
