This comprehensive and welcoming edition draws on the whole of Stevie Smith's output in poetry, prose and drawings from Novel on Yellow Paper (1936) to Scorpion and Other Poems (1972).

The selection is complemented by biographical and textual notes, and forms an attractive introduction to the work of an idiosyncratic English genius.
