I've been appreciating Emily Dickinson more within the past few months than I have the rest of the years that I've read her, but really, this series is what woos me. ( ) This is my letter to the World That never wrote to Me — The simple News that Nature told — With tender Majesty Her Message is committed To Hands I cannot see — For love of Her — Sweet — countrymen — Judge tenderly — of Me This slim volume presents seven of Emily Dickinson's greatest poems, accompanied by gorgeous and haunting illustrations. This was my introduction to Dickinson's poems and had me hooked on her work immediately. I recommend this both to those who are new to Dickinson as well as to her fans who will no doubt appreciate the artistry with which Isabelle Arsenault has treated her subjects. I borrowed this book from the library and have been holding on to it for as long as I possibly can, but will be getting my own copy to keep for certain. It's definitely an interesting book; with the poetry of Emily Dickinson and the evocative art of Isabelle Arsenault. However, I'm not sure if children will be able to understand or comprehend much of the material inside. At least, I had a hard time understanding the one about the lady with the tea cup skirt. ...or was she a personification of a tea cup? no reviews | add a review
