About the poet: Shel Silverstein
Shel Silverstein (1930–1999) was born in Chicago, Illinois, and became one of the most beloved children's poets in American literary history, while also working as a cartoonist, songwriter, and author. His poetry collections for children, Where the Sidewalk Ends (Harper and Row, 1974) and A Light in the Attic (1981), have sold tens of millions of copies worldwide and remain perennial bestsellers. His verse combines anarchic humor, gentle subversiveness, and memorable imagery to encourage the pleasure of reading. As a songwriter, he wrote A Boy Named Sue, recorded by Johnny Cash, and The Cover of the Rolling Stone. He was also a longtime cartoonist for Playboy magazine.
