Some of the finest poems by Emily Dickinson, a unique voice in American poetry. She is known for her short poems, full of acute observations and deft use of language. This careful but imaginative selection shows the remarkable variety she produced despite the miniature nature of the medium.
Though principally known as the miniaturist in American poetry, Emily Dickinson produced a remarkably wide body of work - some concentrating on acute observations and some on bons mots. Full of wit and sensitivity, she generally appears in anthologies but this generous collection shows that she is a poet to be taken seriously.

Teresa Gallagher gives Emily Dickinson a New England voice that succeeds in conveying the poet's distinctive duality: her gentle, mystical other-worldliness underscored by a resolute strength... Does the 'door ajar' shut her out or invite her in? Is the 'realm of you' Heaven or some paradise of earthly love? Even though recurrent themes are death and self-denial, the mood is airy and buoyant, like the angel's wings Dickinson imagines she wears. - Rachel Redford, The Sunday Times  Be the first to write a customer review
