This beloved illustrated classic tells the tale of Archy, a philosophical cockroach, and Mehitabel, a cat in her ninth life. Generations of readers have delighted in the work of the great American humorist Don Marquis. Marquis's satirical free-verse poems, which first appeared in his New York newspaper columns in 1916, revolve around the escapades of Archy, a philosophical cockroach who was a poet in a previous life, and Mehitabel, a streetwise alley cat who was once Cleopatra. Reincarnated as the lowest creatures on the social scale, they prowl the rowdy streets of New York City in between the world wars, and Archy records their experiences and observations on the boss's typewriter late at night. First published in 1927, Archy and Mehitabel has become a celebrated part of the twentieth-century American literary canon.

Back when I taught High School English the lit books always included an Archy and Mehitabel poem, or two. The idea was cute. A cat and a cockroach have deep discussions that are recorded by the roach jumping on the keys of a typewriter. The author and editor of a small town newspaper, claimed he came to work and found these poems just left on the typewriter. Well, as an old lover of poetry I decided I wanted all the Archy and Mehitabel poems. You should have it in your collection as well. It is cute, funny, and deep.
