Michael Shepherd - ! ! Stevie Smith reading her poems

She was not yet really 'known' - br but asked to read by this small group br of older Jewish refugees and eager youngsters, br talent destined for a fame, br at the tiny Gaberbocchus Press br br which did not affect at all br the self-contained aloneness br that walked up the aisle from door to barely stage br br and in a clear dry voice neither apology nor hope br read her poems that gave a meaning br to the new word 'throwaway' - they were her, br she read them, threw the invisible sheets away, br and if you caught them as you laughed br which was easier than crying tears, br so be it.
