Description
The Annotated Archy and Mehitabel is a unique collection of poems by Don Marquis, featuring the humorous exploits of two immortal characters. Originally published in New York newspaper columns, these free-verse poems follow the misadventures of Archy, a philosophical cockroach, and Mehitabel, a streetwise alley cat, as they navigate the streets of New York City between the world wars.
Reincarnated as the lowest creatures on the social scale, Archy and Mehitabel's antics are now made available for the first time in their original order of publication. This comprehensive collection includes many poems never before reprinted, offering a fresh perspective on these beloved characters.
Published by Penguin Classics, this edition features authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
