It's been many 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.“Few of our national bards, past or present, have so consistently, with so light and sure a touch, illuminated the inconsistences and capriciousness of contemporary life.” —New York TimesOgden Nash is the funniest poet this country has known.” —JONATHAN YARDLEY, Washington Post“One man completely dominates light verse in American literature, and no one is ever likely to surpass him. His name happens to rhyme with bash, cash, crash, utter smash—first name with frogmen and hog then.” —JOSEPH EPSTEIN“Clearly Ogden Nash is God’s gift to the United States… our best literary comedian since Will Rogers. He has become, in a strictly Shakespearian sense, America’s number one fool, though in any other sense he is nobody’s fool.” —The Atlantic“He is not only everything that his followers claim—witty, clever, and acidly urbane—he is also, by the problem he poses and by the technique with which he poses it, a serious poet.” —San Francisco Chronicle“The reader will find himself completely captivated by rhyming of such unexpected originality that his only comment is hearty laughter.” —Harper’s
