so-soI thought Ms Parker was a happy, witty day drinker. But this oeuvre to suicide says that was not so. She attempted suicide three times then finally her broken heart gave up. The poems are excellent, but not so worthy that you should read this if the topic frightens you because I also found that it was not enlightening in any way.

pickIt's not what you think. Well, actually it's lot of poop talk. But, in the informative way. This book is filled with tons of detail and information from research on the microbiology in our guts. If you want to learn about the gut and brain connection, give this a read. But, give yourself time to slug through it. It's a dense read. #science #womeninscience #letthemeatdirt #workmanpublishing #algonquin

(1893-1967) Ah , what a wit ! Love her stories and poems , so wonderful, and who wouldn‘t have been longing to hear the chat around the Algonquin round table... unless it was directed at you , of course!🍸
