Oct. 14: e. e. cummings, American poet

BORN OCTOBER 14th:

e. e. cummings (1894-1962) American poet known for odd capitalization, strange arrangement on the page, and untitled poems referred to by their first lines. "in Just-" (about Spring, "when the world is puddle-wonderful"), the (perhaps mock-) patriotic "next to of course god america I," and the sobering "Buffalo Bill's" are among his approximately 2,900 poems.
