With exacting rigor and wit, Howe pulls Dickinson free of all the
sterile and stuffy belle-of-Amherst cotton wool and shows the poet
in touch with elemental forces of nature, and as a prophet in all
her radical zealotry and poetic glory. Her Emily Dickinson is a
unique American genius, a demon lover of poetry no neurasthenic
spider artist. Howe draws into her discussion Browning, Wuthering
Heights, the Civil War, "Master," the great Puritan preachers,
captivity narratives, Shakespeare, and phantom lovers. As she
chases away narrow and reductive feminist readings of the poet,
Howe finds instead a radically powerful and true feminism at work
in Dickinson, focusing the whole on that heart-stopping poem "My
Life had stood a Loaded Gun." A remarkable and passionate
poet-on-poet engagement, My Emily Dickinson frees a great poet from
the fetters of being read as a special female neurotic, and sets
her against a fiery open sky where "Perception of an object means
loosing and losing it...only Mutability certain." My Emily
Dickinson won The Before Columbus Foundation Book Award."
