It was a wonderfully sunny day; the willowherb waved in the ruins and the white fluff fell like snow. But alas Celia glanced at the blue-faced clock in the Ministry tower it was eleven o’clock. Stevie Smith’s 1947 short story, ‘Is There Life Beyond The Gravy? 8217; shares much of its plot with her 1949 novel. 8216;We’re all dead,’...

Leave it alone. It was a mistake that you made to get this book. You could not know. (Stevie Smith,. Novel on Yellow Paper. Today, t...

Which I’m hoping to visit next summer), and those in the UK are quite scattered. I don’t mind. It’s a nice excuse to visit different cities. View from the upper level of the Brotherton Library.

Parrots Ate Them All. A blog about Stevie Smith and the art of the aphorism. Postcards from Virago Press: Stevie Smith’s ‘Me Again’. May 9, 2015. May 9, 2015. What I like about post cards is that even if in an envelope, they are made to circulate like an open but illegible letter (Derrida, The Post Card. Last week, I blogged about the new edition of Novel on Yellow Paper. Of which Virago Books very kindly sent me a copy. To heap joy on joy, the parcel included two sets of vintage postcards. Postcards are...

Smith’s 1936 debut. Blurry because the camera was too saddened by the book’s condition to take a proper photo. 8216;Well-loved’ would be a generous description. The cover is taped to the title page, and the book makes alarming cracking noises when I turn the pages. Novel on Yellow Paper. Yes Yes, I would. Showed ho...

‘Something Else Remaining’: The Trinity Archives – Parrots Ate Them All

Parrots Ate Them All. A blog about Stevie Smith and the art of the aphorism. 8216;Something Else Remaining’: The Trinity Archives. August 15, 2015. August 28, 2015. Most of the letters by Stevie Smith I’ve seen, so far, have been written in the 50s and 60s. My research has turned up a lot of back-and-forth about publication rights, translation, performances at festivals and very little about her actual writing. Which is why yesterday’s visit to Trinity College, Oxford, was so exciting. These long run-on ...
