Alexander Maksik tellsThe Atlantic how the E.E. Cummings poem "i sing of Olaf glad and big" made him want to become a writer: "In that classroom, at twelve years old, I was so angry, so sad on Olaf's behalf, so hypnotized by my pacing teacher. I wanted to do something about it. And if a short poem could make me feel this way, could show me something I'd never seen, well then what I wanted to do was write."
