However, after a few weeks of being friends, we would become closer due to our shared experience going through the questioning of our sexualities. Growing up, I always knew I was different. The majority of my friends were female, I was never interested in sports, and I never had crushes on any girls. I knew I was different but didn’t know how. While it seems obvious

E.E. Cummings then attended Harvard University where he was introduce to the avant-garde writers of Ezra Pound and Gertrude Stein. These two writers influenced Cummings in such a huge way that Cummings himself became an avant-garde writer too by experimenting with different techniques and grammar in his poetry.
