Essential Dickinson -- Emily Dickinson

<P>From the introduction by Joyce Carol Oates: <P>Between them, our great visionary poets of the American nineteenth century, Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, have come to represent the extreme, idiosyncratic poles of the American psyche....<P>Dickinson never shied away from the great subjects of human suffering, loss, death, even madness, but her perspective was intensely private; like Rainer Maria Rilke and Gerard Manley Hopkins, she is the great poet of inwardness, of the indefinable region of the soul in which we are, in a sense, all alone.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Emily Dickinson<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ecco Press<br><b>Published:</b> 03/14/2006<br><b>Pages:</b> 114<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.21lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.16h x 4.52w x 0.30d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780060887919<p></p>
