I read this little collection twice today, and haven't quite figured out whether Smith's poems are simple, or deceptively simple. Many of the poems are kissing cousins to nursery rhymes or doggerel - folktales, or children's stories.

I like Stevie Smith. A lot of it is the quirkiness, and playfulness, even (or particularly), round the most serious subjects.
