I'm of the glamorous ladies
At whose beckoning history shook.
But you are a man, and see only my pan,
So I stay at home with a book. —"Song of One of the Girls Handle with caution: Dorothy Parker's razor-sharp wit and acid-tongued satire pierce through the pages of this brightly wry poetry collection. Readers will find no shortage of amusement witnessing Parker poke fun at stereotypes relating to romantic relationships by employing her always clever wordsmithery. There's no doubt that Parker's dazzling acuity, which made her one of the most beloved poets of the Jazz Age, is timeless…and supremely giftable. (HC)
