Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy poetry that doesn't take itself seriously but says something real underneath the jokes.
  • You're curious about how early 20th-century writers made fun of the same human absurdities we deal with now.
  • You appreciate the footnotes in this edition that actually help you understand period references instead of leaving you confused.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for weighty, serious verse that plumbs the depths of existential dread.
  • You prefer narrative poetry that tells a clear story from start to finish.
  • You want contemporary language. Some of Taylor's phrases and references feel genuinely old, and the footnotes only help so much.

About this book

A Line-o'-Verse or Two is a collection of light verse by Bert Leston Taylor featuring whimsical wit and sharp observations. The poems range across themes from the mundane to the profound, using playful language that combines humor with social commentary. Taylor's work reflects early 20th-century American poetry, exploring contemporary life while remaining accessible to readers. Taylor was a poet, journalist, and caricaturist whose background in journalism and art gave him a keen eye for detail and wit. His verse captures the spirit of his era by blending humor with insights into society and human experience. This edition includes hand-picked memorable quotes and interactive footnotes that clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases.
