When E. E. Cummings attended Harvard in the early 1900s, traditionalists were claiming that verse without rhyme or meter wasn't poetry at all. At the same time, Marcel Duchamp, Gertrude Stein, and others were experimenting with new approaches to art. Cummings chose to follow their daring path. "There is no such thing as 'doing wrong' or 'being right about something,'" the poet wrote. "These are 4th hand absurdities invented by the aged in order to prevent the young from being alive."
