All the Poems: Stevie Smith

All the Poems: Stevie Smith

The essential edition of one of modern poetryâ€™s most distinctive voices
Stevie Smith is among the most popular British poets of the twentieth century. Her poem â€œNot Waving but Drowningâ€ has been widely anthologized,Â and her life was celebrated in the classic 1978 movie Stevie. This new and updated edition of Stevie Smithâ€™s collected poems includes hundreds of works from her thirty-five-year career. The Smith scholar Will May collects poems and illustrations from published volumes, provides fascinating details about their provenance, and describes the various versions Smith presented. Satirical, mischievous, teasing, disarming, Smithâ€™s poems take readers from comedy to tragedy and back again, while her line drawings are by turns unsettling and beguiling.
