Dorothy Parker's debut poetry collection, capturing the wit, disillusionment, and emotional precision of the Jazz Age.
First published in 1926, Enough Rope established Dorothy Parker as one of the sharpest voices of the interwar American literary scene. The poems move effortlessly between irony and vulnerability, exposing the tensions of modern love, social performance, and private despair. Beneath Parker's celebrated epigrammatic wit lies a disciplined formal craft, shaped by traditional meter and rhyme even as her sensibility reflects the fractured rhythms of the 1920s.
Often associated with the Algonquin Round Table, Parker distilled the anxieties of urban modernity into brief, cutting lyrics that remain startlingly contemporary. Enough Rope stands as both a document of its era and a lasting contribution to American light verse and satirical poetry.
