Emily Dickinson

This volume offers a deep dive into Dickinson’s most iconic poems, organised into thematic sections that illuminate her contemplations on individuality, spirituality, nature, love, and the afterlife.

From the haunting stillness of Because I Could Not Stop for Death to the vibrant celebration of nature in A Narrow Fellow in the Grass, Dickinson’s poems resonate with an intimacy and depth that remain remarkably relevant today.

This collection features both well-loved works and lesser-known gems, paired with insightful commentary that places them in their historical and personal context.

Poet and lecturer Pelé Cox provides an introduction to the book and analysis of eight of the more complex poems, offering readers a greater understanding of Dickinson’s solitary life, her reclusive nature, and the quiet genius that has captivated generations of readers.

As Dickinson’s poetry continues to inspire new generations of readers and feminists, this collection is the perfect companion for anyone fascinated by her unique voice and profound impact on poetry.
