An Avant-Garde Pioneer
A Tribute to E.E. Cummings
An avant-garde wordsmith, a lyrical pioneer
Cummings played with language, punctuation, and form
Rejecting conventions, he painted with letters
Crafting poems that danced across the page
With lowercase abandon, eschewing capitalization
His verses urged readers to reinvent perception
Through misspellings and fractured syntax
...
He conjured new meanings, rebelling against grammar
Yet his rule-breaking revealed deeper truths
With playful experimentation, he sought joy and freedom
Cummings followed his artistic spirit, unbound
...
Expressing himself in highly personal verse
...
He forged a style uniquely and utterly his own
An enduring voice, he sings a song of the individual
Forever influencing generations of writers and readers
Who see poetry anew through his eyes
...
For Cummings words became art, paintings with texture
He honored feeling over tradition, over convention
...
Empowering us to reshape language and thought
And discover our own way of seeing the world

Mama’s Boy
I’ve been a fiancé for four years and three months. We’ve been together for six and a half years total, and we have a two-month-old son together. I can’t help but think that we’ll never get married. We haven’t even decided on a wedding date. When I bring it up, he tries to escape the room as if he’s late for something more important.
