Ogden Nash was a rare poet: one who celebrated the ordinary with delight and curiosity. He struggled his whole career with comparisons to serious poets, those heroes of the canon who abandoned the rhyme and meter that were the lifeblood to his style of writing. In addition to his writing, Nash pursued publishing, screenwriting, and a rigorous lecture circuit. This book explores Ogden Nash's life, his career, and the invaluable amount of work he left behind-works we read and cherish today.
