101 Two-Letter Words

101 Two-Letter Words

A one-of-a-kind celebration of the 101 two-letter words allowed in Scrabble.
Rolling Stone has called singer-songwriter Stephin Merritt of the Magnetic Fields â€œthe Cole Porter of his generationâ€; O, The Oprah Magazine has hailed cartoonist Roz Chast as â€œthe wryest pen since Dorothy Parkerâ€™s.â€ Together they have crafted a wonderfully witty book that is sure to prove useful to Scrabble players and Words With Friends addictsâ€•and to delight anyone in thrall to the weirder corners of the English language.
With the mordant wit and clever wordplay of Edward Gorey or Shel Silverstein, Stephin Merritt has written an original four-line rhyming poem for each of the 101 two-letter words included in The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary. Here are poems about familiar words (such as at, go, hi, no, and up) as well as obscure ones (such as aa, ka, oe, qi, xu). And every one of the 101 poems is accompanied by a full-color illustration by the incomparable cartoonist Roz Chast.
101 Two-Letter Words is perfect for any language lover or Scrabble player (it may even improve your score!).
