“It’s about time some book publisher decided to put your appealing love letters between jackets. Your book is here, Kid, and it certainly is there!” ―Walter Winchell to Don Wahn

In these verses is a combination of the sentimentality and cynicism which is “Broadway”―the pathos and the artificialities of life, the sentiment, false and true, the sincere and professional cynicism.

Philip Stack (born John Philip Stack; December 27, 1900 in St. Albans, Vermont – March 4, 1948 in Manhattan, New York), also known under the alias of Don Wahn, was an American poet who was active during the 1930s and 40s.
