Enough Rope - A Book of Light Verse by Dorothy Parker;With the Introductory Essay 'The Jazz Age Literature of the Lost Generation ', Paperback

Self-depricating, bitingly satirical, and surprisingly thought-provoking, Dorothy Parker's first collection of poetry comments on love and the relations between men and women with quick wit and lyrical verse.

First published as a collection in 1926, the poetry featured in Enough Rope reflects the famous wit that Dorothy Parker is so widely loved for. A founding member of the Algonquin Round Table writers' group, Parker often presents a cynical analysis of love, which entertains as much as her verse captivates.

This volume features many of Parker's best-known poetry, including:

-'Threnody'

- 'The Small Hours'

- 'The False Friends'

- 'The Trifler'

- 'A Very Short Song'

- 'A Well-Worn Story'

- 'Convalescent'

- 'The Dark Girl's Rhyme'
