Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. 249pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "This treasury of humorous poems brings together a sparkling constellation of witty poets--from Lord Rochester to Lewis Carroll, from Edward Lear to Ogden Nash, from Dorothy Parker to W. H…. Auden--and embraces a wide range of forms, including limericks, clerihews, ballads, sonnets, and nonsense verse. [] COMIC POEMS is studded with unforgettable classics, along with lesser-known comic gems from across the ages, from ancient Rome to modern America. Here is the immortal 'How Pleasant to Know Mr. Lear' beside Noël Coward's 'Mad Dogs and Englishmen'; the incomparable 'Jabberwocky' next to the famous 'There was a young lady of Riga.' From Cole Porter and John Updike on love and marriage to Stevie Smith and Dorothy Parker on mortality to the ever-talented Anonymous on almost anything, the lighthearted poetry collected here ranges from the most delightful nonsense to the most sophisticated wit." [jacket copy] Ample selection includes Belloc, Pope, Apollinaire, De La Mare, Wilbur, Burns, Gilbert, Larkin, Jarrell, dozens more. Pristine & handy hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a vibrant jacket image of colored dots by Sigmar Polke. Quite presentable.
