Poems: Emily Dickinson; Three Series, Complete

"Hope is the thing with feathers" - the complete early poems of America's most original voice.Emily Dickinson wrote nearly 1,800 poems in near-total seclusion in Amherst, Massachusetts, and almost none were published in her lifetime. This volume brings together all three series of the first collected editions, prepared by Mabel Loomis Todd and Thomas Wentworth Higginson - 449 poems that introduced the world to a wholly new kind of American poetry.Compact, startling, and unforgettable, Dickinson's verse turns on the great subjects of life, death, immortality, love, and nature, rendered in her famous slant rhyme and darting dashes. Here are the poems every reader knows - "Because I could not stop for Death," "I'm Nobody! Who are you?," "I heard a Fly buzz - when I died" - gathered in the classic three-series arrangement that first made her name.This is a Lightbound Library edition from Solocosmo Press, fronted by an original cover painting by Jessica von Braun.
