E.E. Cummings' Tom is the author's avant-garde attempt to interpret Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's Cabin as a ballet. Gestures are described through Cummings' prose-poetry, while the characters themselves are reimagined as doll-like entities. While Cummings intended for this project to eventually make it to a real stage, it was never performed in his lifetime, having seen multiple rejections for its inaccessibility.
