Poem Anniversary

Eighty-Seven years ago this month, Dorothy Rothschild had her first poem published for money. "Any Porch" was accepted by Vanity Fair in 1914; the young writer was paid $12. You can read "Any Porch" in Not Much Fun: The Lost Poems of Dorothy Parker (Scribners), available in the What The Hell Book Shop. It's a classic.
