This comprehensive and welcoming edition draws on the whole of Stevie Smith's output in poetry, prose and drawings from Novel on Yellow Paper (1936) to Scorpion and Other Poems (1972). Hermione Lee's introduction and arrangement bring out the connections between Stevie Smith's different writings, and show us what an extraordinary and original writer she was. The selection is complemented by biographical and textual notes, and forms an attractive introduction to the work of an idiosyncratic English genius.
A beautiful genre-bending tribute to the larger-than-life blues singer Bessie Smith. Scotland's National Poet blends poetry, prose, fiction, and nonfiction to create an entirely unique biography of the Empress of the Blues. There has never been anyone else like Bessie Smith. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1894 and orphaned by the age of nine, Bessie Smith sang on street corners before becoming a big name in traveling shows. In 1923, she made her first recording for the newly founded Columbia Records. It sold 780,000 copies and catapulted her to fame. Known for her unmatched vocal talent, her timeless and personal blues narratives, her tough persona, and her ability to enrapture audiences with her raw voice, the Empress of the Blues remains a force and an enigma. In this remarkable book, Kay combines history and personal narrative, poetry and prose to create an enthralling account of an extraordinary life, and to capture the soul of the woman she first identified with as a young Black girl growing up in Glasgow. Powerful and moving, Bessie Smith is at once a vivid biography of a central figure in American music history and a personal story about one woman's search for recognition. A VINTAGE ORIGINAL.

Se conoce Adam Smith como padre de la economia clasica, por la Riqueza de la Naciones menos por la Teoria de los Sentimientos Morales cuando formando ambas un conjunto inseparable para entender ese humanista del Siglo de las Luces Escoces proponiendo a todos dedicarse pacificos e individualmente a una produccion esencial para atender las escaces de consumo de todos, mediante division del trabajo e interesando los detentores de recursos para invertir en esas producciones directamente y no a traves de manipulaciones de monopolio o sosteniendo una economia mercantilista que hacia muy poco caso de las vidas de la gente, especialmente de los humildes. Proyecto sesgados por los capitalistas despiadados y hasta ciertos neoliberales politicos exagerando las desigualdades. Proyecto implicito fallido pero no por falta de humanismo, es necesario redescubrirlo y conocer algo del desarrollo industrial especial de Escocia

Being Mrs Smith always did mean embracing the unexpected, but even Mrs Smith didn't expect an Amazonian adventure. When the horror of cancer touched the Smiths, they embarked on a journey to ultimate healing and peace. This is the story of their journey. Faced with heart-rending decisions, they accept unmissable opportunities with a courageousness they never knew they had. In the deepest jungle regions, they encounter charlatans and shamans and learn to distinguish between them. Surrendering to the path that is theirs to take, they embrace ancient teachings and strange medicines, and grasp the opportunity to dance with the spirits of sacred plants, including that of Ayahuasca. Far from home, the Smiths learn the true value of family and community as they place their trust in the wisdom of the indigenous elders, in themselves and in each other, and ultimately in Nature herself. Here is a rare story of healing that tells of the melding of souls as Mr and Mrs Smith walk each other home.
