by Phyllis McGinley ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 23, 1960
Here is a volume, introduced by W.H. Auden, of selected verse from three decades, including seventy new poems. With the humor, precision, and acuteness which has won her a large and faithful audience, Phyllis McGinley observes matters domestic, literary, suburban. She comments on the war, the depression, in short on every aspect of life in the thirties, forties, and fifties. And her comments are distinctly feminine, refreshing and revealing. A book for collectors of her work and for those who wish as delightful as possible an introduction into the world of light verse.
