Stevie Smith - BBC Radio Interviews

Synopsis
Extracts from a radio interview with the British poet and novelist Stevie Smith. Described as one of the most original poetic voices to emerge from the thirties, Stevie Smith’s eccentric, mischievous, often disturbing poems contain beneath their lighthearted surfaces an undertone of loneliness, boredom and death. In the interview, broadcast in the BBC Home Service series THE LIVELY ARTS on 21/11/1965, Stevie Smith talks to Derek Hart about her sources of inspiration (1 min 31) and her poem V (0 min 59)
