The old dog barks backwards by
Ogden Nash(
Book
)
16 editions published between 1968 and 1973 in English and held by 1,570 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
For four decades, Ogden Nash was among the most perceptive and valuable chroniclers of life in twentieth-century America, a social observer of the sharpest insight, whose humor, sanity and cheerful cynicism appealed to countless numbers of people of all ages. The Old Dog Barks Backwards is a posthumouse collection of seventy-seven Nash verses, many of which have been published in magazines, but none of which has ever appeared in book form. There is no basic theme to them -- the verses range in their subject matter as widely as did Nash's interests, which were very wide indeed

"To present an adequate picture of the blithe, careless quality of Ogden Nash's rib-tickling poems one would have to be another Ogden Nash -- and he is sui generis. He takes his fellow man, and woman, apart in his new collection of vivacious verse -- the first in four years -- with engaging cheerfulness and an insight into their foibles that is almost uncanny." -- New York Times, Edward Laroque Tinker, 1942

29 editions published between 1949 and 1964 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,449 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Nash belongs to none of the 20th century's poetic movements though he borrowed from all of them. He published his first collection during the height of High Modernism and his last in the early 70s with the Language poets and Second New York School bubbling around him. 'The Private Dining Room' pops and fizzes on the level of sound poetry, both a sendup to the form and to 1950s propriety and etiquette guides."--Ondioline website

"Nash did not often discuss his comic patterns, but did once explain his formula for the telling use of cliché:?The trick is that it must be somebody else?s cliché and not the author?s own.? Typical is the treatment that Nash gives to the overworked advice,?Hate the sin but love the sinner,? in?Nevertheless,? from Many Long Years Ago."--Poetry Foundation website
