Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Poems (Shambhala Pocket Classics)

Considered by many to be the spiritual mother of American poetry, Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) was one of the most prolific and innovative poets of her era. Well-known for her reclusive personal life in Amherst, Massachusetts, her distinctively short lines, and eccentric approach to punctuation and capitalization, she completed over seventeen hundred poems in her short life. Though fewer than a dozen of her poems were actually published during her lifetime, she is still one of the most widely read poets in the English language. Over one hundred of her best poems are collected here.

Judgment Out Of Books Poems (Shambhala Pocket Classics)

I'm choosing not to rate this one as I don't feel able to accurately sum up my feelings. There were some real gems in this collection and Dickinson definitely has a raw talent. However, a lot of these poems went right over my head. I wish I could have studied these in school, as I feel like I would appreciate them much more. I'm definitely glad I attempted them and will return to them in the future in the hopes of increasing my appreciation for this tortured soul.

The vast majority of her poetry was not

It took me years to ingest these poems... mostly saved them for bathtime reading. Emily Dickinson's life is shrouded in mystery, and her poems are a small window into her period of time, quiet musings about social and political practices and institutions of the time. In her poems, she expresses a great prediction for change; the world going on and unfolding with new ideas. She also seems to rail against the expectations of her own time, and turns to the natural and spiritual world for eternal

It's difficult to ascribe words that can encompass and illuminate her best poems. I can't say that I've read every poem in this book, but of the reading editions available, this one is probably the best. R.W. Franklin, building upon previous scholarship and a fair amount of detective work, has ordered the poems as they were likely written. This, therefore, is probably one of the better ways into her work, along with almost any Selected Poems edition. Dickinson worked in an old form and never

I found the words to every thoughtI ever had - but One -And that - defies Me -As a Hand did try to chalk the SunTo Races - nurtured in the Dark -How would your Own - begin?Can Blaze be shown in Cochineal -Or Noon - in Mazarin?

This was my second time reading this edition of the poems all the way through. This time I could see trends in the poems more clearly, as well as stark differences in quality and mood across Dickinsons lifetime. Different poems jumped out at me than before, and Im sure there are still others hidden for me to discover in the future.
