Enough Rope

This classic collection of light verse from the beloved American satirist and poet contains some of her most famous, caustically funny rhymes. A founding member of the Algonquin Round Table, Dorothy Parker helped define the literary voice of her generation. Her urbane sense of irony left no platitude un-skewered, especially when it came to matters of the heart. First published in 1926, Enough Rope is a collection of short, humorous poems that are quintessential Parker: elegantly sardonic, disarmingly deadpan, and unforgettably funny.
