A keepsake edition gathering the lyrics of more than 80 of Gershwins most popular songsIra Gershwin once remarked that he always tried to capture the way people spoke to each othertheir slang, their clichs, the catch phrases. Few people in ordinary life, of course, can muster the humor, vivacity, and emotional directness that Gershwin brought to his lyrics. His collaboration with his brother Georgeone of the summits of American popular musicproduced masterpieces that reflect, perhaps, the way people would like to talk. Someone to Watch Over Me, Nice Work If You Can Get It, They Cant Take That Away from Me, S Wonderful: these have entered the culture and become part of our common language. The insouciant, improvisational air of his lyrics belies the meticulous craftsmanship that Ira brought to every syllable. Robert Kimball has gathered more than 80 examples of Ira Gershwin at his best: the comic invention of songs such as They All Laughed and Lets Call the Whole Thing Off, the poignancy of The Man I Love, the wry edge of The Saga of Jenny, the sheer exuberance of Fascinating Rhythm, and dozens more.About the American Poets ProjectElegantly designed in compact editions, printed on acidfree paper, and textually authoritative, the American Poets Project makes available the full range of the American poetic accomplishment, selected and introduced by todays most discerning poets and critics.
