Author Description

Product Description The author of several books of poetry and cookbooks, Bob Brown was one of the most eccentric American poets of the early twentieth century. My Marjonary (1916) was his major book, a work of unpretentious, playful poetry, influential to both American concrete poetry and the New York School. This is the first reissue of the 1916 edition. About the Author Born in Chicago in 1886, Bob Brown wrote highly personal and idiomatic poetry (akin to what today we describe as New York School work) beginning in 1914 through the 1920s. He was also a best-selling novelist, What Happened to Mary (1913)
