	Dana Gioia Online - Ogden Nash
		One of the many virtues of Douglas Parker's exemplary biography of Ogden Nash is that he so clearly documents and chronicles how this singular poet won a vast and appreciative readership during an era when American poets were universally declared to be unpopular.
		If Nash's life was the exception to the rule of modern poetry's marginality to American mass culture, it also demonstrates the many missed opportunities of poetry to find a meaningful place in contemporary society.
		Nash ultimately belongs to the neglected but important line of what I have called elsewhere Populist Modernists, those poets who adopted experimental techniques but rejected the uncompromising but elitist standards of High Modernism.

		In "Odgen Nash: The Life and Work of America's Laureate of Light Verse," Parker shows that Nash was in fact the likable man that his poems suggest.
		Nash also wrote greeting cards and commercial rhymes, although he turned down an offer to write copy for a laxative, telling a friend, "If they want anything on pellagra, leprosy, or syphilis I'm their man, but I'm afraid constipation is eliminated, if that isn't a contradiction in terms."

		The heroine of this jaunty poem is no stranger to adversity: she quickly and calmly dispatches a variety of threatening figures, to the strains of Nash's vivacious comic cadences.
		These familiar, hilarious verses concern an enfant so terrible that she eats up the bear that plans to eat her, gives her physician the perfect comeuppance (``She took those pills from the pill concocter /And Isabel calmly cured the doctor''), and triumphs over other ``bugaboos,'' including a bad dream.
		Marshall matches Nash's deft wit in his usual style: Isabel is a bit cross-eyed but comically assured, the bugaboos are fiercely funny, and there are miscellaneous delightful details to discover.
