New Releases by Ogden NASH

It''s been more than thirty years since the appearance of a collection from America''s laureate of light verse. Ogden Nash first gathered together an anthology of thirty years of his published works in 1959. In 1973 his daughters gathered more than four hundred of his poems and called it I Wouldn''t Have Missed It, a quote from one of his verses. Now more poems have come to light, so his daughters have once again produced The Best of Ogden Nash, the definitive Nash anthology. The poems display the talent of the man whose verse entranced America from the time of the Great Depression until his death in 1971. The Best of Ogden Nash should delight old fans and introduce new readers to a unique talent.

This is a small collection of poems expressing memories and fantasies, but more importantly serve as a backdrop to the discipline shown in the life of my father. Friends, real or fancied, here appear on a different kind of facebook. These faces have not aged in the decades since I first knew them and here they live from my heart, hidden no longer. Some fo the fantasies were inspired by the ficticous characters, "Dino," "Beach Boy," "Hamlet" and the "Saturday Night Fibber." Other poets grateful to have been quoted are: brother John Lash, Robert Pinsky, the former Poet Lauriate, Myra Burt and Ogden Nash who honored my long practice in allergy with his poem. DEDICATION: To Mother, a stately lady who gave me so much love; to the Haiberg family and Dorla, that flower who bloomed in the Dakotas and blessed me with daughter and sons and to Evelyn who contines that love. THANKS: to the Vencil family who tolerated me in critical times and also contributed to my thoughts expressed in these poems. Lastly, I thank DuEwa Frazier who motivated to take this endeavor by her own career in poetry.
