"The most complete volume with an excellent essay which includes a discussion of reading the verse. Dates are given for earliest writings to publication date."
"I am ashamed to admit that I had dismissed Emily Dickinson as some kind of cutesy, greeting card, nature poet prior college when I -- a non-honors student -- managed to sneak into an honors discussion course about her poetry where I quickly gained a new respect for her.
This selection of Emily Dickinson's poems is wonderful except for one omission: the poem "In Winter in my Room," which I handwrote in the back of my copy.
In Winter in my Room I came upon a Worm -- Pink, lank and warm -- But as he was a worm And worms presume Not quite with him at home -- Secured him by a string To something neighboring And went along.
A Trifle afterward A thing occurred I'd not believe it if I heard But state with creeping blood -- A snake with mottles rare Surveyed my chamber floor In feature as the worm before But ringed with power --
The very string with which I tied him -- too When he was mean and new That string was there --
I shrank -- "How fair you are"! Propitiation's claw -- "Afraid," he hissed "Of me"? "No cordiality" -- He fathomed me -- Then to a Rhythm Slim Secreted in his Form As Patterns swim Projected him.
That time I flew Both eyes his way Lest he pursue Nor ever ceased to run Till in a distant Town Towns on from mine I set me down This was a dream."
"Ahhh, the ultimate existentialist commentary. I have always loved Emily Dickinson's poetry and this book professes to be a compilation of selected poems chosen from ALL of her poems . . . an alleged first. Poems were well organized and accessible, numbered first by the editors running number then in parens the alleged Dickinson running number. The book also, thankfully, comes without any editorial hoohah. You are free to enjoy and interpret."
