[New-Poetry] cummings haters

[Alexander Dickow]

Lo,
"In less, of course, you meant"
I see you are an expert in perfect grammar.
I find your remarks about Cummings sort of
presumptuous, since I think what he did opened up many
possibilities that have yet to be exhausted. Although
not a rabid fan of Cummings, I find the alternative
position -- "you should respect grammar" to be rather
repulsive for all kinds of reasons, at least insofar
as it becomes a "position". _Write your English good_
if you want, but don't discourage others from building
their _style_ in whatever sense they wish. 
What's certainly most vexing to me -- perhaps I'm
alone on this -- is your rather tactless remarks to
Raven, which look like flaming to me. Others here have
succeeded in offering criticism in a both
uncompromising and much more kind fashion, Lo.
Keep reading, keep writing, Raven.
Amicalement,
Alex
