☆Shel Silversteinについて軽くお勉強☆
Born・・・September 25, 1930 <Chicago, Illinois>
Died・・・May 10, 1999 < Key West, Florida>

Sheldon Alan "Shel" Silverstein was an American poet, songwriter, musician, composer, cartoonist, screenwriter, and author of children's books. He was also known as "Uncle Shelby."
Silverstein claimed he never studied the poetry of others, and therefore developed his own style: laid-back and conversational, occasionally employing profanity and recent slang. Shel Silverstein was clearly in the Dadaist tradition[citation needed], and he reveled in contradiction. His success did not come from one, or even two works; rather, he wrote with extended permanence of work. He wrote with an unaffected, un-self-conscious manner that kept attention focused on the subject matter, not the language.
Silverstein believed that written works needed to be read on paper, and with the correct paper for the work. He usually would not allow his poems or stories to be published unless he could choose the type, size, shape, and color of the paper himself. Being a book collector, he took the feel of the paper, look of the book from the inside and out, the type for lettering of each poem, and the binding of his books very seriously. He did not allow his books to be published in paperback, as he did not want his work to diminish in any way.
