About this book

Ambrose Bierce is remembered mostly for his fiction and his acid definitions, but he also wrote a great deal of verse, and this volume gathers it together. Most of the poems are satirical, aimed squarely at the politicians, editors, and self-important men of his California. Bierce collected much of this work under titles like Black Beetles in Amber, and the tone matches: sharp epigrams, savage lampoons, and rhymed insults delivered with obvious relish. Alongside the invective sit darker pieces on death, folly, and the pretenses people live by, plus a scattering of fables in verse. Readers who know his prose will recognize the same unforgiving eye and the same refusal to flatter anyone.
