Introducing Irony

by Maxwell BODENHEIM (1892 - 1954)

The Scrub-Woman

Subtitled 'A Book of Poetic Short Stories and Poems', this collection reads years ahead of its time. Set mainly in Jazz Age New York City, the poems and tales are a series of profiles of people in seedier parts of town, along with bizarre love songs and even a trip to Mars. Not for the easily offended. ( Matt Pierard)
