I'm glad I read it because now I can set it free. I've heard a lot about Dorothy Parker and I had built her into a cult hero poet in my mind...but found her poetry to be quite angsty and mostly centered about heteronormative romantic drama, beginnings and endings, and it was just not the sort of thing I'm drawn to. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Disappointment in love is a common theme. Ms Parker writes from her own experiences at how heart-braking it is.
There is an introduction to this collection written by Brendan Gill. It is worth reading for an overall evaluation of her work.
The copious number of poems, I have not dwelt on, but the final section is a selection of her reviews of books and theatre. These are often sparkling efforts, full of humour and outrage at the good or the bad.
