Spirit of '76
Dear Miss Monroe : Provided you will allow me to use smallletters at the beginning of my lines, I submit the following excellent American poem to you for publication in your paying magazine:
Spirit of '76
Her father
built a bridge
over
the Chicago River
but she
built a bridge
over the moon.
This, as you will at once recognize, is an excellent poem and very American. I sincerely hope that
no prehistoric prosodic rules will bar it from publication. Yours,
W. C. Williams
