Widely considered the definitive edition of Emily Dickinson's
poems, this landmark collection presents her poems here for the
first time "as she preserved them," and in the order in which she
wished them to appear. It is the only edition of Dickinson's
complete poems to distinguish clearly those she took pains to copy
carefully onto folded sheets in fair hand-presumably to preserve
them for posterity-from the ones she kept in rougher form. It is
also unique among complete editions in presenting the alternate
words and phrases Dickinson chose to use on the copies of the poems
she kept, so that we can peer over her shoulder and see her
composing and reworking her own poems. The world's foremost scholar
of Emily Dickinson, Cristanne Miller, guides us through these
stunning poems with her deft and unobtrusive notes, helping us
understand the poet's quotations and allusions, and explaining how
she composed, copied, and circulated her poems. Miller's brilliant
reordering of the poems transforms our experience of them. A true
delight, this award-winning collection brings us closer than we
have ever been to the writing practice of one of America's greatest
poets. With its clear, uncluttered page and beautiful production
values, it is a gift for students of Emily Dickinson and for anyone
who loves her poems.
