Enough Rope (1926) by Dorothy Parker is a collection of poetry that masterfully combines wit, irony, and poignant emotional depth. Known for her sharp commentary on love, loss, and the human condition, Parker’s poems often present a stark portrayal of the complexities of romantic relationships and personal despair. Through the use of succinct, biting language, Parker explores themes of disillusionment and the contradictions inherent in human emotions. While the collection conveys a sense of cynicism and melancholy, it is also laced with humor and a sense of self-awareness, allowing readers to engage with the poems on both an intellectual and emotional level.
