Edward Sanders, "The Birth of Perf-Po" (2000)

Editorial Notes

  • Edward Sanders has also written two other poems that refer to Dada Zurich: "Hymn to the Rebel Café" and "Dada Comes to Zürich." Like "The Birth of Perf-Po," the latter is taken from his ambitious three-volume America: A History in Verse. By including Dada Zurich in his history in verse, Sanders implies that Dada Zurich's influence on the U.S., via Dada New York, makes it an integral part of American history.
  • During his time in Zurich (1916-1917), Vladimir Lenin lived at Spiegelgasse 14.
