He was my first poet because in school we had to find one we liked and show it to the class so I picked "grasshopper"

Normie author. In my opinion, his entire legacy is invalidated simply because he started the silly trend of authors refusing to capitalize their names.

My mom used to read him out loud to me as a kid. I don't know exactly why, but his words annoyed me so much I would scream at her to stop at like age 5. I hated poetry for a long time because I assumed all poetry was like his.

Except he didn’t. A publisher did it on the cover of one of his books and that started a meme. He always spelled it E. E. Cummings.

I like him a lot. Ever read Eimi, his novel/essay/memoir about Soviet Russia? It’s great.

it started when Bill's chip let on to
the bulls he'd bumped a bloke back in fifteen.
Then she came toward him on her knees across the locked
room. He knocked her cold and beat it for Chicago.

Eddie was waiting for him,and they cleaned up a few times—before she got the info
from a broad that knew Eddie in Topeka,went clean daffy,and which was very silly hocked

the diamond he gave her. Bill was put wise
that she was coming with his kid inside her.
He laughed. She came. he gave her a shove
and asked Eddie did he care to ride her?
....she exactly lay,looking hunks of love

In The Chair he kept talking about eyes
