E. E. Cummings is similarly misunderstood.  Since he occasionally broke 
the standard usages, people assumed he was protesting against the rules. 
  Instead, he was playfully abusing them, and as far as I can tell, 
always to a point.  It takes more work as a reader than blank verse, but 
there's more meaning in the typography than you usually find.  And it 
was a small percentage of his poetry.
