Everyone knows Smith's famous "Not Waving But Drowning," but there is lots more where that came from. She is an acquired taste. Is she trying to rhyme, or not? Rather like Dickinson in her use and disregard for formal rules. The drawings provide guidance into her tone and style: that juncture of wit and pain. A bit like Dorothy Parker, but with an English accent. She struggles with and against Christianity and life in general. ( )
