Wielding a throwaway wit and the strangest irony, Stevie Smith was deeply read in the classics and yet sprinkled her poetry with delightful doodles. Her poems are often very dark; her characters are perpetually saying \"goodbye\" to their friends or welcoming death. At the same time her work has an eerie levity. Countless are her witty ways. The title of her first collection says it perfectly: \u003cem\u003eA Good Time Was Had by All\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eI longed for companionship rather, \u003cbr\u003e But my companions I always wished farther.\u003cbr\u003e And now in the desolate night\u003cbr\u003e I think only of people I should like to bite. \u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stevie Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.4lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811221948","brand":"New Directions Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43232600719497,"sku":"9780811221948","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_2f501ccf-40db-4c91-bda6-627c2121ad2c.jpg?v=1735033557","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/best-poems-of-stevie-smith-9780811221948","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
