Ogden Nash

(Poet)(1902-1971) A short allotters of its work. Tribute side in the 50s and in the 60s, Ogden Nash was supposed of Americas of most popular poets. , I know tones like weak praise. These days, straight over the only people, which read poetry for pleasures, are poets themselves. It had not used to be like that. One century ago, Americans loved poetry. Newspapers had a daily poem. At each important case -- a holiday or the opening of a museum or of a court -- a poem became an opportunity to assign. Families will itself poems and recite it to notice. Of course poetry lost its popularity, while that 20. Century on carried. I think that this mostly was because of the change at the free verse. Free verse produced something fine poetry, but it formed poetry into an art for literati and not the public. People like straight Reime (the reimende poetry was not superior -- many the daily newspaper of poems were really doggeral the secondary rate, also.) Nash was popular, since poetry in the popularity died. And not straight relatively popular: its work appeared in the places such as lifetime writing, while mass-market, while you received (differently than television set). Some its poems are immediately recognizable. For example I am sure that all know you its "reflections on the ice breaking." It -- What? The name does not trust? Which over the words: CandyIs dandyBut liquorIs faster. Do you recognize it now? Nash wrote the bright verse, filled with wordplays and surprising and merry Reime ("Streptomycin" with "Alternbison," for instancem or "Siam" and "Scram"). But which really educated it, location was out something, which it formed singularly its: Poems with a line considerably longer than others. An example (I use rifle bullets, in order to show the two lines, because HTML formatting) is flockig: "however its large aunt spreads the word, which you a Quack is, because she read an article in last paper Sunday, in which some Romanian savant indicated, which are a thing of the past and the Balkans of hospitals tonsilectomy, with the people bulges, which are located in the line, around her almonds back to be set to be able." This is extreme an example, but Nash did this kind of the thing the whole time, with a shorter line considerably or longer than the preceding thing. Interesting enough, had the poems still another direction of the rhythm, as if the "impact" of the poem would adjust itself (or waiting period) to the Reim was terminated. They could say that its work doggerel was, but it first-class doggerel was. The poems were merrily (and) however a joy to sometimes seriously always read. Nash selected some merry and lay topics -- animals (, I like rather "the blow" and, naturally, "the Llama"), the peculiarities of the social meetings, sport and much otherwise. He lived in Baltimore and was large Colte loosens up, thus, when they won the NFL championship 1968, beauftrug the life it to write a bundle of poems over the crew. When the jets struck it in the superdish, he wrote against-willingly a poem, which praises New York. Nash died 1971. Its reputation entered into Eklipse very fast. Serious poets and critic ignored him, because he wrote humorous poetry (and it reimte). Its public aged and, if the poems are applied to read as a Chore to developed no new public. Nash was forgotten. That can be repaired on the edge of its. A pair of the books came back from the last year and animated its work for a new public. There is a new accumulation of 500 of its poems on Amazon. Give it a view.
