Description:
Emily Dickinson proved that brevity can be beautiful. Here is her ì complete oeuvre--all 1,775 poems--available in its original form, ì uncorrupted by editorial revision, in one volume. Thomas H. ì Johnson, a longtime Dickinson scholar, arranged the poems in ì chronological order as far as could be ascertained (the dates for ì more than 100 are unknown). This organization allows a wide-angle ì view of Dickinson's poetic development, from the sometimes-clunky ì rhyme schemes of her juvenilia, including valentines she wrote in ì the early 1850s, to the gloomy, hell-obsessed writings from her ì last years. Quite a difference from requisite Dickinson entries ì in literary anthologies: "There's a certain Slant of light," ì "Wild Nights--Wild Nights!" and "I taste a liquor never brewed."
