In Our Time: Stevie Smith

Melvyn Bragg and guests explore the work of writer Stevie Smith, best known for her poem Not Waving but Drowning. Her poems, printed with her pen and ink sketches, can appear deceptively simple - but often beneath the surface lurk themes of melancholy, loneliness, love and death. Principally active throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Smith died in 1971
