jackedwards's review against another edition
5.0
Such uniquely wonderful poetry - I can't believe I hadn't heard of Stevie Smith before my degree led e to her beautiful and fascinating work. The line drawing illustrations Smith accompanies her poetry match the awkwardness of the poetics, and elevate the poems to a dimension somewhere between nonsense and fairytales, giving the impression of disorder whilst maintaining enormous control over rhyme, metre, and rhythm. Incredible.
