I don't know about you, but I am the Queen Of Rumania!
I love her stuff. But I have to take it in small doses, as I tend toward depression anyway. And the story of her life is heartbreaking. But yes, I love love love her. I think my fav poem of her is the one about suicide, I don't know what it's called, but the final line is "You might as well live."
And I love the phone story. Isn't that hers, the one where she keeps waiting for the guy to call? And then "You were perfectly fine", that awesome story about the morning after, where one person reassures the other that they didn't make a complete ass of themselves at a party.
Ah, Dorothy! I've been to NYC many times, keep meaning to make it to the Algonquin, but never have. I should. RIP, Dorothy! And since I don't have a DP icon, I'm using my Nietzsche icon instead... they were kindred souls, I think.
