This book is a delightful collection of poems from Emily Dickinson who writes a variety of poems about nature. She gives a very descriptive style to her poems that gives a vivid picture of what she is writing about. At the end of each poem it give meaning to some of the words in the poem, so that the reader gets an understanding of what he or she read. Also at the beginning of the book, it gives background over Emily Dickinson of her life, and explains some of the poetry she has written.

I would use this book in a poetry unit, or to learn more about poetry that is written about nature and how it is used.
