A fine collection of poems. Going into this, I wasn't entirely sold on Emily Dickinson but there are a lot of good lines and pieces in here. The stanzas are fractionary but manage to get their message across for the most part, though the style did mean a fair few passed me by. I also have a soft spot for those stubborn artists who are reluctant to go public with their work, and Dickinson is one of these ("Publication – is the Auction/Of the Mind of Man" starts one poem on page 68, ending show more with "But reduce no Human Spirit/To Disgrace of Price"), even if I could do without all the unnecessary (and of its time) capitalization. Nevertheless, a pleasant surprise. show less
