Abstract: In this thesis I examine the poetry of Kay Smith. In the first chapter I explore her use of metonymic process in "Footnote to the Lord's Prayer": a long religious poem published in her first book of poetry by the same title. In the second chapter I look at how this process is extended and used in a selection of non-religious poems from At the Bottom of the Dark and When a Girl Looks Down. Finally, in the third chapter I show how the metonymic process, used by Smith to make connections between words and ideas in her earlier poems, now helps her to build a connection between life and death in a selection of new poems published in The Bright Particulars.
