Elizabeth Smart is internationally recognized by virtue of her two masterworks of prose 'By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept' and 'The Assumption of the Rogues and Rascals'. Few people, however, have had the pleasure of reading her poetry since much remains unpublished or scattered in out-of-print books or inaccessible. 'In the Meantime' offers the reader the best of her poetry together with some fine, hitherto unpublished, prose pieces. Contents: Foreword; Scenes One Never Forgets; Eleven Poems; Dig a Grave and Let Us Bury Our Mother; Poems from 1940; New Poems; In the Meantime: Diary of a Blockage.
