punctuation

__Punctuation__
media type="youtube" key="YLRqbQ80EkI" height="315" width="420" align="right" E.E. Cummings often uses various punctuation marks in his writing. He often uses commas, semicolons, and parenthesis to create tension and division in his writing. While some of his poems use conventional narrative themes, he does use the modernist thought of “make it new” by using these varied punctuations.

One method that can be used is to ignore the punctuation for the first reading, then apply the punctuation being used as the poem is further investigated.
