Edward Estlin Cummings was an American poet who wrote 2,900 poems . While living in Paris E.E. was arrested for unrinating in public .
He was released
But ordered to report to a magistrate
The next night he had dinner with John Dos Passos and Malcolm Cowley
E.E Cummings
Would once again urinate in public.
After many bottles of wine
Crowley makes a big fuss about book fetishism
Malcolm Cowley then starts to pull down books from the shelves and tear some apart.
He piles them all on the asbestos mat in front of the stove : then lights them up
It was a gesture in the Dada manner
They all talked about bad writers while the smoke grew thicker.
E.E. Cummings proved that he was a better Dadaist
He walked over to the burning books
