Frederic Ogden Nash (August 19, 1902 – May 19, 1971) was an American poet best known for his light poetry, of which he wrote over 500 pieces.
He was proclaimed the country's best-known writer of comedic poetry by his unconventional rhyming schemes.
Early life
Nash was born in Rye, New York, the son of Mattie (Chenault) and Edmund Strudwick Nash. His father owned and operated an import-export business, but the family was often relocated due to business obligations. Nash was descended on Abner Nash, the early governor of North Carolina. After Abner's brother, Francis, a Revolutionary War general, the city of Nashville, Tennessee, was named.
Nash used to rhyme all his life. In a 1958 news interview, he said, "I think in terms of rhyme, and have been since I was six years old." When rhyming words did not exist, he had a fondness for creating his own words, but acknowledged that making rhymes was not always the most straightforward task.
His family lived in Savannah, Georgia, for a short time, in a carriage house owned by Juliette Gordon Low, the mother of the Girl Scouts of the United States. He wrote a poem about Mrs. Low's House. Nash joined Harvard University in 1920, only to be forced to leave a year later.
Before returning to New York, he taught St. George's for a year. He began selling bonds in New York, which Nash reportedly quipped, "I came to New York to make my fortune as a bond salesman" and sold one bond—to my godmother." However, I saw a lot of good movies." Nash took over as a writer for the streetcar card ads for Barron Collier, a company that had hired another Baltimore resident, F. Scott Fitzgerald. He submitted some short rhymes to The New Yorker while working as an editor at Doubleday. "They are about the most original stuff we've ever seen lately," editor Harold Ross told Nash. In 1931, Nash spent three months on The New Yorker's editorial staff.
He married Frances Leonard in 1931. In the same year, he published his first collection of poems, Hard Lines, which gained him national recognition. Any of his poems reflected an anti-establishment sentiment. For example, one verse, "Common Sense," asks: "Come Sense" is the word that comes to mind.
Nash immigrated to Baltimore, Maryland, where he lived until his death in 1971. Nash regarded Baltimore as home. "I could have loved New York if I hadn't loved Balti-more" after his brief stay in New York.
Writing career
Nash was not writing poems, he made guest appearances on comedy and radio shows, toured the United States and the United Kingdom, and delivered lectures at colleges and universities.
Nash was regarded with skepticism by the literary establishment, and his poems were often anthologized in more formal collections like Selden Rodman's 1946 A New Anthology of Modern Poetry.
Nash performed on One Touch of Venus as the lyricist, collaborated with librettist S. J. Perelman and composer Kurt Weill. The show featured the popular song "Speak Low." He also wrote the lyrics for the 1952 revue Two's Company.
In the December 13, 1968 issue of Life, Nash and his love for the Baltimore Colts were included, as well as many poems about the American football team that match to full-page photographs. The issue, "My Collects, verses, and reverses," is a book by Arthur Rickerby, a premier writer of light verse, lives in Baltimore and adores the Colts. Nash is now described as "a Baltimore Colt fanatic and a gentleman." Dennis Gaubatz, a defensive player on mid-air pursuit with this name, is featured on the magazine cover: "That is him, looming ten feet or taller above the Steelers' signal caller." "I'll do my quarterbacking on Monday" since Gaubatz appears like this on Sunday. Jimmy Orr, Billy Ray Smith, Bubba Smith, Willie Richardson, Dick Szymanski, and Lou Michaels contributed to the poetry.
A collection of animal verses was one of his most popular writings, many of which featured his off-kilter rhyming equipment. "If called by a panther / Don't anther" is one of the examples; "Who needs my jellyfish?"/ I'm not sellyfish!
"He's a priest, he's a one-L lama." He's a beast, the two-L llama. And I will bet a silk pajama: there aren't any three-L lllama!" Nash added the footnote "* The author's interest has been traced to a form of conflagration identified as a three-alarmer." "Pooh" is the word that comes to mind.In 14 volumes published between 1931 and 1972, the best of his work was published.
