Synopsis
Emily Dickinson is one of the world's best known and most widely read poets, though at the time of her death in 1886, only seven of her more than 1000 poems had been published. But shortly thereafter, the genius of her work was recognized and it has since received wide and consistent acclaim. Her verse - noted for its style, wit and bold and startling imagery - has greatly influenced the direction of 20th-century poetry. The 112 poems in this collection are taken from the definitive Johnson edition of her work and are accompanied by 65 pencil drawings, created especially for the book by Ferris Cook.

About the Author
Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886) was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, and is considered to be one the greatest poets of American literature. The daughter of a prominent lawyer, she spent almost all of her life in her birthplace, gradually withdrawing from local activities, and spending her later years as a virtual recluse in her father's house. She composed over one thousand unique lyrics dealing with religion, love, nature, death, and immortality, only seven of which were published during her lifetime. Her verse, noted for its aphoristic style, its wit, its delicate metrical variation, and its bold and startling imagery, has had great influence on twentieth-century poetry.
Ferris Cook is the illustrator of three companion books to this series: Odes to Common Things and Odes to Opposites by Pablo Neruda, and The Rose Window and Other Verse From New Poems by Rainer Maria Rilke.
