📱 eBook en inglés COLLECTED POEMS AND DRAWINGS OF STEVIE SMITH

When Stevie Smith died in 1971 she was one of the twentieth-centurys most popular poets; many of her poems have been widely anthologised, and Not Waving but Drowning remains one of the nations favourite poems to this day.

Satirical, mischievous, teasing, disarming, her characteristically lightning-fast changes in tone take readers from comedy to tragedy and back again, while her line drawings are by turns unsettling and beguiling. In this wholly new edition of her work, Smith scholar Will May collects together the illustrations and poems from her original published volumes for the first time, recording fascinating details about their provenance, and describing the various versions Smith presented both on stage and page. Including over 500 works from Smiths 35-year career, The Collected Poems and Drawings of Stevie Smith is the essential edition of modern poetrys most distinctive voice.

I was much further out than you thought

And not waving but drowning.
