This review is from: Norton Book of Light Verse (Hardcover)
I have never read a collection of poems so consistantly funny in my life. The pieces included are all very clever and very quote-worthy. I could read the whole thing in a sitting.

A great way to spend a day,
By Sarah McNell (Provo, UT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Norton Book of Light Verse (Hardcover)
I'm someone who's always happy to find a good book to curl up with. This collection of light verse is a brilliant use of time, and it's just as much fun read a single poem at a time as it is in large quantities. The verses and poems are grouped logically, and brilliantly, each giggle contributing to the next. The commentary is as much between the poem and their placement as it is at the beginning of the book. I appreciate Russell Baker's style and voice throughout, and appreciate as well even the deeper and more provocatively ironic pieces he slipped between the more simplistic poems.
