Selected Poems

Der Weihnachtstipp von Ina Schulz:

Für Freunde des Originals – eine wunderschöne illustrierte Gedichtsammlung aus der Folio Society

Emily Dickinson (1830–86) is considered one of the great visionary poets of the American nineteenth century but she published just a handful of poems in her lifetime, her first collection appearing post-humously in 1890. The boundaries of her physical life may have been narrow, rarely, if ever, leaving the family home, but her poetic range is expansive. Her verse, instantly recognizable for its short, compact lines and idiosyncratic use of capitalization and dashes, is at once intensely personal and vast in its imaginative reach. This edition includes more than 170 of her poems featuring her most famous verse as well as lesser known works.
