5-0 out of 5 stars Dangerous Little Ditties
If you like this book, and the sweetly subversive worlds of George Booth, Ogden Nash or Shel Silverstein, then you should pick up Nick Bantock's (of Gryphon & Sabine fame), "Averse to Beasts," a book with cassette whose dangerous little ditties rival Nash's in their hilarity with a dose of arsenic.

5-0 out of 5 stars Terse Verse
Don't trash
Ogden Nash.
His words
ain't turds
His swirls
Are pearls.

2-0 out of 5 stars Lacks indices of titles or first lines.
This book seems to contain all of Ogden Nash's best verses. But good luck finding them: there is no index of titles or first lines. With so many verses, many of them titled counter-intuitively, you will only find the verse you seek by sheer luck, if at all.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great work, poor copy editing
This is a completely enjoyable collection that keeps me smiling as I read.Unfortunately, it seems the proof reader relied on a computer's spell-checker program.It let him down.

The spelling errors surprised me.I guess I may have spotted an error or two in other books, but I seem to keep stumbling on them in this book.They're distracting and it seems almost sinful to have let them appear in this wonderful collection.

Mr. Nash's insight, humor and unique form are well represented here in the 650 rhymes, verses, lyrics and poems.They are grouped by general subject matter.Thumb through the contents and see what you're in the mood for.Nash will make you smile or even laugh out loud.

3-0 out of 5 stars More clever than brilliant, but clever is good.
Ogden Nash should probably be considered more of a humorist than a poet. After all, he makes up words and sometimes totally disregards any sense of meter. Maybe "rhyming humorist" would be most accurate (even though there is some real poetry here, too). In my opinion, his strongest poems are his shortest. I particularly enjoy his poems about animals. Some of his humor seems a little dated and, unlike a previous reviewer, I found little here that, for me, was laugh-out-loud funny. One of my favorite poems in the book is actually a serious poem, "A Carol for Children". But, hey, if you want serious poetry, get some Emily Dickinson. Ogden Nash is good if you need a lighthearted chuckle. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Photos for the heart
I always thought this was a handsome set of photos from Ben Shahn.The 110 more or less cover his photographic career because he was much more interested in painting and graphics.So many of his photos were really taken as reference for later paintings.The first photo in the book, taken in New York during 1931, is essentially a huge brick wall, some waste ground, a sidewalk with a couple of boys talking and near the wall another boy is using a piece of wood as a bat.This produced the painting `Vacant lot' in 1939.The painting, minus the two boys, is identical to the photo.His 1939 painting `Handball' is based on two photos in the book taken at a Houston Street playground, New York, in 1932.In fact, look through any book of Shahn's paintings and then look through this book (and others) and you'll plenty of images that were used for his art.

The largest selection of photos in the book were taken for the Farm Security Administration where Shahn was employed between 1935 and 1939.He took over six thousand photos in the South and Mid West and it's clear to see in so many of these his sympathy for the people he captured on film.There are several, taken in the Ozarks in 1935, that will really grab your heart.

Other shots (which always turn up in photo books about the FSA) without people are wonderful examples of small town life: stores, signs, Main Street and all probably inspired by Roy Stryker's exacting shooting scripts he gave to all the his photographers.After Shahn left the FSA in 1938 he dropped any serious interest in photography and concentrated on paintings and graphics.The few books about his photo work are a treasure and a wonderful visual record of his humanity.

My 1975 copy is a landscape paperback (but I think it was also published as a hardback) with 200 screen duotones and I think the photo selection is better than a similar book: Ben Shahn, Photographer: An Album from the Thirties with eighty-two black and whites.(There is another photo book coming out later this year: Ben Shahn's American Scene: Photographs, 1938)

Excerpt: Robert Lee Frost (March 26, 1874 January 29, 1963) was an American poet. He is highly regarded for his realistic depictions of rural life and his command of American colloquial speech. His work frequently employed settings from rural life in New England in the early twentieth century, using them to examine complex social and philosophical themes. A popular and often-quoted poet, Frost was honored frequently during his lifetime, receiving four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry. Robert Frost, circa 1910Robert Frost was born in San Francisco, California to journalist William Prescott Frost, Jr., and Isabelle Moodie. His mother was of Scottish descent, and his father descended from Nicholas Frost of Tiverton, Devon, England, who had sailed to New Hampshire in 1634 on the Wolfrana.
