Stevie Smith was a consummate performer of her own work and believed that only she could do justice to the qualities of humour and irony inherent in her witty, wry and often disturbing poems.

This CD collects 50 poems and songs recorded for the BBC over the period 1956-1968, and this includes many of Smith's best-known titles, including "Not Waving but Drowning", "Thoughts about the Person" from Portlock and "Do Take Muriel Out".

A highlight is a complete live performance from the 1965 Edinburgh Festival, including material not broadcast at the time.
