On its publication in 1926, Enough RopeDorothy Parkers debut collection of poemswas an instant bestseller and established her as the wittiest woman in America. Full of cynical humor, lighthearted wisecracks, and hilarious satire, her poems mercilessly skewer sentimentality and provide rapier sharp commentary on everything from friendship and love to aging and death with sparkling burlesque. This Warbler Classics edition includes an extensive, detailed biographical timeline. Caked with a salty humor, rough with splinters of disillusion, and tarred with a bright black authenticity. The Nation Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song, a medley of extemporanea, And love is a thing that can never go wrong, and I am Marie of Romania. Dorothy Parker DOROTHY PARKER was an American short-story writer, poet, screenwriter, and critic and satirist known for her legendary wit. When told that the taciturn former U.S. president Calvin Coolidge had died, she is said to have asked, How can they tell? Of Katharine Hepburns performance in a 1934 play, Parker said she ran the gamut of emotions from A to B. She was one of the founders of the Algonquin Round Table and was long associated with The New Yorker.
