Edward Estlin Cummings, popularly known as e.e.cummings, was an American poet, painter, essayist, and playwright. He was born on October 14th 1894 and was definitely a man before his time producing in the 1920s poetry which was more akin to that of the 1960s. . His body of work encompasses more than 900 poems, several plays and essays, numerous drawings, sketches, and paintings, as well as two novels. He is remembered as a pre-eminent voice of 20th century poetry, as well as one of the most enduringly popular. I first came across his work in school and have been fond of it ever since.

which is natural which is infinite which is yes
