Franklin Adams was an American columnist. He was a poet. He was a veteran of the first world war. He was the son of Jewish-German immigrants. He was witty. He was a radio panelist. He was, suffice to say, many things.

His most important work was his column “The Conning Tower”. The Conning Tower it is said, “…was enough to launch a career.” As turned out to be the case for a number of writer’s whose work was published therein. Dorothy Parker was one such poet and she dedicated her 1936 collection Not So Deep as a Well, to F.P.A. the acronym by which Franklin was also known.
