Yes, shades of Robert Frost, but also of Dorothy Parker and Ogden Nash.
One problem with "In London, at the Bodley Head; New York, Charles Scribner's Sons." It is not strict iambics. But maybe if it's "nicely read," which is to say with a proper British accent, then "New" has two syllables. Or maybe the semicolon functions as an unstressed syllable.
