Ogden Nash
|
|
|
|
Comic Poet (1902 - 1971)

He had the fortune – for us – to be buried in New Hampshire. But humorist and
poet Ogden Nash grew up in New York and Georgia. He attended school in Rhode Island
and attended, but did not finish college at Harvard. If his terse poems read like
advertising copy, it's not accident since he began work writing ads. His poems
were perfect for the clever New Yorker in its hey-day and he joined the staff
there in 1932. In all he wrote 19 books of poetry and 1,500 poems have been catalogued.
In an odd final twist, Nash, a New Yorker, died in Baltimore, but was buried in
North Hampton, NH. Nash was the first American chosen to grace the 37 cent postage
stamp in 2002, the centennial of his birth. The official Post Office press release
states: "A gentle satirist, Nash poked fun at human shortcomings without pessimism.
He wrote on many subjects, but all of his poems expressed his dry wit and demonstrated
his playfulness with language."
