Enough Rope was Dorothy Parker’s first published collection of poems, and was a best seller. The Nation described her verse as “caked with a salty humor, rough with splinters of disillusion, and tarred with a bright black authenticity.”

Jennifer Pickens performs these poems in her own distinct voice, while capturing the spirit of Parker’s work.
