The Best of Ogden Nash

release date: Jan 01, 2007
The Best of Ogden Nash
More of Ogden Nash''s poems have come to light, both in the voluminous Nash collection at the University of Texas at Austin, and in family letters and papers. So his daughters have once again produced The Best of Ogden Nash, the definitive Nash anthology. Some of these new poems reveal a darker side of the poet; others are full of fun. But all display the talent of the man whose verse entranced America--and a good part of the world--from the time of the Great Depression until his death in 1971. While earlier collections were organized chronologically, The Best is arranged by subject matter: the subjects of Nash''s poems cannot always be identified by his titles, so fans of a particular poem will not have to search for it in vain.

The Private Dining Room, and Other New Verses

The Private Dining Room, and Other New Verses
"Nash belongs to none of the 20th century''s poetic movements though he borrowed from all of them. He published his first collection during the height of High Modernism and his last in the early 70s with the Language poets and Second New York School bubbling around him. ''The Private Dining Room'' pops and fizzes on the level of sound poetry, both a sendup to the form and to 1950s propriety and etiquette guides."--Ondioline website.
