A Man I Am by Stevie Smith (1902-1971) In less than a page‚ this poem instantly recognizable as the work of its utterly unique author sketches the process of man s evolution from a primitive‚ violent‚ wolf-like state to true‚ spiritually-conscious humanity. The process is at the same time a movement from hate (line 1) to joy (in the penultimate line). The three verse paragraphs describe‚ in order‚ the wolflike state‚ the evolution itself‚ and finally the evolved state in which man began to feel human
