I often see people refer to Shel Silverstein as overrated and that’s kind of beyond me. It’s such a common accusation for so many facets of our culture that to sling it at a children’s author, of all things, seems a little absurd.
Perhaps it happens because a lot of people outside that particular demographic talk a lot about how much they like his work. I’ve been trying to figure out why that is and honestly I think it’s because his stories and poems and art sticks with us beyond something visceral.
When I was growing up, reading Silverstein’s poetry books was an experience unlike no other - he found humour in the strange, in the wonderful, and in the typical. But he also refused to ignore the darkness and heartache and injustice in the world that I was only really just becoming lucid to, and his philosophy was that these things shape us and aren’t necessarily bad things, and that facing the idea that a lot of that was inevitably something we were going to experience wasn’t something to despair about.
Blah blah blah nobody cares I’ll stop talking
