Not Waving But Drowning

Not Waving But Drowning

Stevie Smith2018
Nobody heard him, the dead man, But still he lay moaning- I was much further out than you thought And not waving but drowning.' Moved by love, death and a powerful eye for the joy and absurdity of life, these are bizarre, mischievous and often deliciously barbed poems by one of the twentieth century's most popular poets.
