About this book

The ninth of ten volumes of poetry edited by Canadian poet laureate Bliss Carman (1861-1929). This collection, the second of two parts, includes a broad and diverse selection of light and comic verse on miscellaneous topics, including religion, the laboring classes, romance, government, food, the human body, animals, the natural world, and everyday hobbies. Also included are parodies and imitations, ingenuities and oddities, and nonsense verse, all using inventive techniques such as puns, wordplay, alliteration, doggerel, adventurous rhyming, and dialect. - Summary by Tomas Peter
