At first unnoticed as a poet, Stevie worked in a London publisher’s office until 1953. Steadily gaining respect, Smith won the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry in 1969. Her poetry speaks with a fiercely comic voice, underneath which lie serious questions about contemporary life.
Her light, comic verse is characterized by her unique use of sound and meaning. Her poems-many of which combine elements from nursery rhymes, songs, and hymns are characterized by a simplicity of diction and a youthful lively wit.
Stevie Smith’s poetry is uniquely dark and comical.
