{"product_id":"all-the-poems-stevie-smith-9780811231664","title":"All the Poems: Stevie Smith","description":"Stevie Smith is among the most popular British poets of the twentieth century. Her poem \"Not Waving but Drowning\" has been widely anthologized, and her life was celebrated in the classic movie \u003cem\u003eStevie\u003c\/em\u003e. This new and updated edition includes hundreds of works from her thirty-five-year career. In addition to the poems and illustrations from all her published volumes, the Smith scholar Will May discovered never-before-published verses and provides fascinating details about their provenance. Satirical, mischievous, teasing, disarming, Stevie Smith's poems take readers from comedy to tragedy and back again, while her line drawings are by turns unsettling and beguiling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMay, Will:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eWill May\u003c\/strong\u003e is author of \u003cem\u003eStevie Smith and Authorship\u003c\/em\u003e (Oxford University Press, 2010)\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSmith, Stevie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eStevie Smith\u003c\/strong\u003e (1902-1971) was born in Hull, England, but when she was three she moved with her parents and sister to Avondale Road in Palmers Green.
