Synopsis
The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker Dorothy Parkes (1893 – 1967) was an American poet and satirist, known for her wit, wisecracks, and eye for 20th century urban foibles. She was placed on the McCarthy list of suspected communists and was on the Hollywood blacklist. Coda There’s little in taking or giving, / There’s little in water or wine; This living, this living, this living / Was never a project of mine. Oh, hard is the struggle, and sparse is / The gain of the one at the top, For art is a form of catharsis, / And love is a permanent flop, And work is the province of cattle, / And rest’s for a clam in a shell, So I’m thinking of throwing the battle— / Would you kindly direct me to hell?
