Blurb

An irresistible hardcover collection of the famous humourist's poems that range from light-hearted satire to gleeful dark comedy One of the Jazz Age's most beloved poets, Dorothy Parker earned her reputation as the wittiest woman in America with her popular light verse, which was regularly published in Vanity Fair, Life, and The New Yorker. Her debut poetry collection, Enough Rope, was a runaway bestseller in 1926, and she followed it up in 1928 with the equally delightful collection Sunset Gun.
