A Classic Treasury of Witty, Irreverent Light Verse and Wordplay

Selected and introduced by renowned anthologist Louis Untermeyer, The Pocket Book of Ogden Nash collects the most beloved, delightfully whimsical poems by America's undisputed master of light verse. Ogden Nash (1902–1971) captivated generations of readers with his unique comic sensibility, eccentric rhyming schemes, and satirical observations on daily life.

This anthology serves as a joyful showcase of Nash's inventive wordplay. Celebrated for his intentional misspellings to force improbable rhymes, erratic line lengths, and wry humor, Nash tackles topics ranging from marital squabbles, parental exasperation, and suburban social etiquette to clever observations on animals and the absurdities of the human condition.

Why You'll Love This Book

Delivering laughs and charm, this vintage Pocket Books edition is a must-have for lovers of humor and poetry alike. Fans of classic American humor, light verse, and authors like Dorothy Parker, James Thurber, Shel Silverstein, Edward Lear, and P.G. Wodehouse will find delight in Nash's witty stanzas.
