E.E.Cummings
just beginning to explore him have sort of looked from the outside for a while ready now to jump in slowly dip my feet if you will and here's some neat that I found (all from the wikipedia article about him):
self portrait:

[or these ones below, okay yes I know they're all at wikipedia but I'm putting them in here because I love them right now!]
"anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn't he danced his did
Women and men(both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn't they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain"
[the rest is here

[see but this is the thing with Cummings I see such beautiful shit of his online and then I look at anthologies and vomit, I guess I'm much too quick to judge these things after all...well, I left my Laughlin complete poems in New York this week so (even though I should/will also read Hegel) maybe I'll pick up some Cummings at last]
