Impertinent Poems
'Impertinent Poems' Summary
Edmund Vance Cooke's ''Impertinent Poems'' is a collection of satirical verse that uses humor and wit to comment on the follies and quirks of everyday life in early 20th-century America. Cooke's poems often take aim at societal norms, popular culture, and the foibles of human nature. He uses irony, wordplay, and clever rhymes to expose the absurdity of certain situations and to satirize the behaviors of individuals and groups. His work is a reflection of the times, capturing the anxieties, aspirations, and humorous contradictions of a rapidly changing society. The poems are not intended to be deeply philosophical or analytical but rather serve as a lighthearted commentary on the human condition, inviting readers to laugh at themselves and at the world around them.Book Details
