In this follow-up to her best-selling debut collection of poetry (Enough Rope from 1926) Dorothy Parker published Sunset Gun (1928) her second of three volumes of short verse. One of the 20th century's most celebrated and renowned humorists, Parker once again delivers a biting, satiric, and insightful look at love, life, and literature in this brilliant collection.

Dorothy Parker—social commentator, political reformer, and legendary wit—has enjoyed a special place in American culture, and Sunset Gun is another early example of Parker's unique and wry commentary on modern life. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
