Selected Letters

A selection of Emily Dickinsons outstanding letters was published in a stylish Pocket Poet version. The whimsical hilarious and frequently very poignant letters Emily Dickinson wrote to her family and friends throughout her life share the same unmistakable voice and brilliant insights that make her poems unforgettable. A fuller picture of the eccentric recluse of legend can be seen in this collection of letters which also demonstrate how fully engaged she was in life. We see her taking care of her garden baking bread celebrating the marriages births and deaths of those she loved looking for intellectual company and confessing her own joys and sorrows. These letters are priceless for the insight they provide into their author but they are also a joy to read.
