EE Cummings was an American poet, painter, and playwright known for his experimental and avant-garde style. Born in 1894, Cummings was a prolific and versatile artist who wrote poetry, plays, and essays, and also worked as a painter and illustrator. He is best known for his poems, which are characterized by their unconventional punctuation, capitalization, and syntax, and their playful use of language and imagery. Cummings's most famous poems include "i carry your heart with me(i carry it in" and "since feeling is first." He passed away in 1962 at the age of 67.
