Great Regulars: [Edward Estlin] Cummings wrote a poem a day

between the ages of 8 and 22. Cummings received his B.A. from Harvard University in 1915, and he earned his M.A. the following year. He was introduced to the work of Ezra Pound and other avant-garde writers while at Harvard. He began to experiment with punctuation, syntax and page layout, publishing his first poems in "Eight Harvard Poets" in 1917.
