Stevie
by Hugh Whitemore

Stevie

Synopsis

Smith commutes to the West End to her work as a secretary at a publishing company.

Her evenings are spent at home with her beloved aunt - a world of battenberg cake, gossip, ginger nuts and sherry in tiny glasses.

But at the same time as leading this seemingly mundane suburban existence, she is writing the piercing poetry and prose that will one day make her famous.

Stevie is a biographical snapshot of both the poet and the private woman.

Shot through with wit, this is the story of an endearing heroine, her unconventional life, powerful and popular poetry and her greatest struggle: to keep waving and not drowning.
