Men seldom make passes
At girls who wear glasses
--"News Item" Renowned for her acerbic wit, cynicism, and satirical humor, Dorothy Parker skewered the pretensions of everyday life and clichéd relations between men and women in her debut poetry collection, Enough Rope, published in 1926. Originally printed in Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and Life magazine, her early poems were a runaway success with the young, liberated women of the Jazz Age. Notable for their lighthearted, clever verse and razor-sharp quips, the selections include "The False Friends," "Godspeed," "News Item," "Résumé," "Verse for a Certain Dog," "A Well-Worn Story," and dozens of others. Once known as "the wittiest woman in America," Parker was a founding member of the Algonquin Round Table and the Screen Writers Guild.
