Stevie Smith (1902-1971) is most famous as a poet and for her three extraordinary novels. But, throughout her life, stories, essays, reviews, a radio play, poems and drawings poured from her witty and magnificent pen and this volume is this first to collect them. She had a unique eye for what is wonderful in the ordinary, and her perceptions about friendship, love and the complexities of life have rarely been equalled.

ME AGAIN illuminates and confirms the splendid and varied qualities which constitute the genius of Stevie Smith.… (more)

OK, I'll confess: before I read this book, the only bit of Stevie Smith's work that I had come across was 'Not Waving But Drowning'.
This ignorance did not prevent my forming an opinion upon the lady. This book has shattered all those pre-conceptions. Smith's work is not, as I had expected. avant garde or feminist; rather, it is a rather sad evocation of a bygone era.
Stevie Smith has an ability for which I long; the ability to draw a word picture in few words. I can see why she is respected as an author but, not really my cup of tea. (
