D.P. in the PD

Rejoice, fellow Friends of Dorothy (Parker): All the poems published in her 1926 collection, Enough Rope, are now available in the public domain. Ditto for "The Algonquin Hotel: Summer 1927," the introduction to Marion Meade's comprehensive 1989 biography, Dorothy Parker: What Fresh Hell Is This? Here are some sample poems from Enough Rope:


"Epitaph for a Darling Lady"


"L'ENVOI"


"Nocturne"


"Pictures in the Smoke"


"Rainy Night"
