About this Item

Print on Demand. This book is a collection of satirical verses that humorously criticize the literary and cultural fads of the early 20th century. These works are a testament to the enduring power of humor, and the cyclical nature of literary trends. The author skewers everything from the overblown language of certain poets to the ridiculous behavior of those who take themselves too seriously. The author's wit is sharp and his observations are keen, making these verses as relevant and enjoyable today as they were when first written. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Sharp satire and sly wit, wrapped in a playful, pocket-sized poetry collection.

This book delivers quick, clever verse that skims pop culture, literature, and everyday life with a wink. A brisk read for fans of bright wordplay and offbeat humor.

The pieces range from playful riffs on poets and publishing to humorous takes on reading, fame, and the world of books. It’s a collage of verse, collage-style parodies, and verse libre that invites readers to smile at the absurdities of modern culture while enjoying clever turns of phrase.

Short, accessible poems that skim a wide range of topics with humor and heart.
Parodies and pastiches that nod to famous styles while keeping a light, modern edge.
Playful commentary on readers, writers, and the publishing world through punchy lines.
A quirky, entertaining anthology suitable for quick reads or dipping in on a commute.

Ideal for readers who enjoy witty verse, literary satire, and a breezy, unconventional approach to poetry.
