From the Paper:

"Renowned author and poet, E. E. Cummings, sought to take the use of language to a different extreme. By rearranging the traditional sentence structure and using nouns, verbs, adverbs, and adjectives interchangeably, he was able to stir up the minds of the poetic society. His unique style of self-expression delighted the world by puzzling their minds and requiring readers to think "outside the box." "
