Complete Poems (Penguin Classics)

Although I'd never heard of Dorothy Parker myself, a few lines quoted from one of her poems struck me favorably and so I searched out the Complete Poems book so that I could see all of them. Although I haven't yet read all of it, and it may take me quite some time, the few i have done are mostly very funny and very enjoyable although I don't think she set out to be, it's just a wry humour that pops out now and then!

It's pretty scuffed and dog-earred to have been sold as "new", even discounting any bending that might have happened in shipping. Nothing wrong with the content of the book as far as I can tell, but its really disappointing to open up a package expecting a crisp, new book and being presented with this.

Beautiful writings. Can't go wrong with this book!

This author has been a part of my life for decades. Her poetry runs the gamut from salty to spiritual, but never boring. Her poetry becomes a part of life, because she can say so much with so few words.

The delightful Dorothy! Her poems are occasionally heartfelt, but generally cynical and funny. I bought this book as a pick-me-up, and it delivered. It was particularly great to have all the unpublished poems as well, many of which are hilarious. Fantastic book!

I already have this book and decided to give a copy to a friend as a thank you gift. He is a big fan of Dorothy Parker and since he travels a lot can read and enjoy while traveling. Packaging was great and book was in top condition.

Good condition. As advertised.

There's not much to add to the adoring reviews of Mrs. Parker's Poetry, EXCEPT that you should purchase a USED copy, lest you unknowingly contribute a royalty to the copyright holder, the NAACP. Dottie was, after all, a "limousine liberal".

If I could be anybody other than me I would be Dorothy Parker with her wit and poems.

Great stuff.

Book in good condition and her poetry is great, poignant and funny

I have been promising to treat myself to her poetry collection for a long while and now I have it. As luck would have it it arrived in time for my U3A poetry Group meeting for a session of D.P.versus Wendy Cope. How I wish I could have been a member of her set!

Not only are the pages of this book appallingly thin, the product I received doesn't have the first 8 pages of it.
