Emily Dickinson is widely considered to be one of the greatest of American poets. The aphoristic style and wit of much of her verse, its irregular rhymes, directness of expression, and startling imagery have had a profound effect on twentieth-century literature. Over a hundred of Dickinson’s best poems are collected here. These unique and gemlike lyrics are pure distillations of profound feeling and great intellect. They contain a world of imagination, observation, and precisely articulated spiritual and emotional experience. As editor Brenda Hillman says, this small and succinct collection can serve as a guidebook to readers who are exploring the highs and lows of the human experience.

Featuring detailed biographical essays and her letters, for the first time arranged chronically, the book stands as a retelling of her aunt's life from the perspective of family in an attempt to challenge the image of Emily Dickinson as a cold, isolated woman of mystery. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Life and Letters of Emily Dickinson is a must-read biography reimagined for modern readers.

Zwischen Ekstase, Klarheit und Ironie Emily Dickinson unternahm weitere Reisen als so mancher Dichter ihrer Zeit, doch ihre Reisen führten sie in die belebte Stille ihres Gartens und in die Ruhe ihres sonnigen Zimmers, wo sie auf das Leben der amerikanischen Provinz blicken oder in der Ferne die Natur beobachten konnte. In dieser Abgeschiedenheit entstanden poetische Selbsterkundungen, zugleich ekstatisch und nüchtern, ironisch und ernsthaft. Diese Auswahl lädt dazu ein, die Poesie der wohl einflussreichsten amerikanischen Lyrikerin im Original und in deutscher Übersetzung zu entdecken. Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch
