loml
The Tortured Poets Department · 2024

Uncle Jerry tells an anecdote about an English department chair who wrote that faculty should use standard edited American English in emails 'unless your name is E.E. Cummings,' connecting cummings' unconventional style (no caps, no punctuation) to the song title 'loml' being written in all lowercase text-speak. The reference is used as context for Taylor's lowercase title convention rather than as a direct allusion in the lyrics.

Angela & Uncle Jerry note that both folklore and evermore use all-lowercase styling for album titles, song titles, etc. Angela describes this as 'very E.E. Cummings-esque,' connecting Taylor's stylistic choice to cummings' famous use of unconventional capitalisation.
