George Jessel,
Elegy in Manhattan
New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1961
“The tall format
Fits the short lines
Of the poems;
And the typeface
Of all the name heads
Looks as if it had been taken
From gravestones—
As, indeed, it was.
The author of the Elegies
Must have been
A very sad man,
But not quite as sad
As the illustrator, whose name
Is mentioned nowhere.”
