Emily Dickinson

Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson - Emily Dickinson proved that brevity can be beautiful. Only now is her complete oeuvre--all 1,775 poems--available in its original form, uncorrupted by editorial revision, in one volume. Thomas H. Johnson, a longtime Dickinson scholar, arranged the poems in chronological order as far as could be ascertained (the dates for more than 100 are unknown). This organization allows a wide-angle view of Dickinson's poetic development.

Emily Dickinson's Letters to the World - A captivating introduction to Emily Dickinson. The poet Emily Dickinson was unknown and mostly unpublished during her lifetime (1830-86). When she died, her sister, Lavinia, discovered the 1,775 poems Emily Dickinson left behind -- her "letters to the world." Jeanette Winter tells the story of the discovery of these poems and has selected twenty-one that speak most directly to children, surrounding them with vibrant paintings. With a specifically designed typeface inspired by Emily Dickinson's handwriting, this small book, which is about the size of some of the paper on which Emily wrote, is a gem.
