Stevie Smith: Some Are More Human Than Others – Illustrated Poems and Writings

Description

New Directions, paperback

Publication Date: September 17, 1989

Publisher Marketing: The British poet Stevie Smith, as her many readers well know, sprinkled her drawings throughout her poetry collections. In this sketchbook, Some Are More Human Than Others, she did the opposite–she spiced her drawings with words. Together they resound with what Robert Lowell described as Smith’s “unique and cheerfully gruesome voice” and open up a little world of peculiar experience: something somber and something gay, innocent and cruel–truths of our world trapped off guard.
