{"value"=>"<p>Poetry—Several of Smith's poems are present in manuscript drafts or fair copies; only one — \"To Francis Ann Kemble\"—is not in Smith's hand. <em render=\"underline\">Sonnets</em> and <em render=\"underline\">Occasional Sonnets</em> are two made up booklets, part in manuscript and part consisting of clippings of previously published poems, which have been numbered and foliated consecutively as if intended for publication in book form. <em render=\"underline\">Sonnets</em> contains 30 sonnets on 26 leaves and appears to have been complied in the early 1870s. <em render=\"underline\">Occasional Sonnets</em> contains 45 sonnets on 34 leaves and was complied ca. 1874-1875, with additions dating to 1884. Smith has annotated both booklets to indicate where various sonnets had been published or, for later poems, where she had submitted them for publication. The poetry manuscripts are supplemented by a folder of miscellaneous unmounted clippings of Smith's published poetry.</p>"}
