The Hunting of the Snark (An Agony in Eight Fits) is a poem written by English writer Lewis Carroll. It is a nonsensical poem that follows a crew of characters setting out to hunt a Snark, a creature which may turn out to be a highly dangerous Boojum. The poem explores themes of quest and the absurdity accompanying it, written typically in Carroll's whimsical style.
