A selection of the remarkable letters of Emily Dickinson in an
elegant Pocket Poet edition.
The same inimitable voice and dazzling insights that make Emily
Dickinson’s poems immortal can be found in the whimsical, humorous,
and often deeply moving letters she wrote to her family and friends
throughout her life. The selection of letters presented here
provides a fuller picture of the eccentric recluse of legend,
showing how immersed in life she was: we see her tending her
garden; baking bread; marking the marriages, births, and deaths of
those she loved; reaching out for intellectual companionship; and
confessing her personal joys and sorrows. These letters, invaluable
for the light they shed on their author, are, as well, a pure
pleasure to read.
