Book Reviews of The Complete Poems of Emily DickinsonBook Review: Easy to buy & easier to read Summary: 5 Stars
There was a time in the history of the world when great literature was for the rich - so those without means were impoverished twice over! But this is a remarkable example of how the work of poetic genius can touch the lives of every reader in an edition that is complete, exhaustive and affordable. For anyone who adores Emily or wants to learn what all the fuss has been, here's the best buy.
Book Review: The greatest gift I'd received this Christmas. Summary: 5 Stars
True that I'd requested it, but I didn't realize I'd be reading it so often over these last few months...and surely I'll be reading more. The language may be difficult compared to our daily use, but her works were radical even by the standards in her day (it was judged as discombobulated or erratic). This is the charm of the writings though. You won't read anything like it then nor now.
Book Review: Missleading photo above Summary: 5 Stars
The added photo of The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson Edited by Thomas H Johnson is not the correct photo for this edition.

ISBN 0-316-18413-6, UPC 9 780316 184137 Retailed for USA $16.95, In Canada $22.95.
Book Review: The best book, that was so hidden Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking at the poetry section at my local library, because I love poetry, and I found this book, I never thought they had the complete collection of Emily Dickinson, It was really cool, by just reading the 2 poems, i fell in love with the 3rd one!! If you love poetry and Emily Dickinson, this is the book to get!
Book Review: the starkest Madness- Summary: 5 Stars
Assent-and you are Sane-Demure- you're straightway dangerous- And handled with a Chain- E. Dickinson I like the way she manipulates language...how everything is more than it seems, and I love her slashes and dashes. Slash and Dash.
