The most absurd poet-Nash

Introduction to Ogden Nash

Ogden Nash (1902- 197 1) is a relaxed, whimsical and sometimes meaningless poet. He started his writing career at doubleday page publishers, where he wrote his first children's book with joseph algers. His first satire, Spring Comes to Mount Murray, was published in 1930.

In an environment where people don't care much about poetry, Nash managed to become one of the most popular and quoted poets of his time. His words, puns and meaningless rhymes appeal to people of all ages. He was praised by critics and the public for his creative titles, improbable rhymes and ridiculous word games.

Nash has a very irregular style. Sometimes his poems contain only a few words; At other times, they sang several lines and then ended up with a clever or sometimes meaningless rhyme. In many cases, he invented a word to adapt to rhyme. Not only his poems and rhymes are irregular, but also the length of his poems varies greatly. Some poems last for several pages at a time, while others suddenly start and end with two lines.

Although the Atlantic Monthly praised Nash as "God's gift to America" for his profound comments on America in the 20th century, his works have international appeal. His poems are humorous, not only because they make people laugh, but also because they contain some truths of human experience. He thinks that his works are not only for children, but in the gray area between children and adults.
