Summary: 4 Stars
The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson, is the ultimate collection of poems. By organizing the poems into chronological order, Johnsonj has created a timeline of situations and emotions Dickinson went through in her life. Johnson provides the reader with two different indexes, a subject index and an index of the first lines. These prove to be very helpful in finding the exact poem or poems you are looking for.Dickinson captures the intense struggles of life, as well as the hard work and complicated aspects of society for a woman, in the late 1800s. Dickinson includes her personal feelings, which allows the reader to relate to the poet. The powerful wording Dickinson uses in her poems compels the reader to continue on. Along with the intense wording of the poems, there is a meaning to be found in each poem. It is obvious Dickinson had spent time on each poem, carefully selecting the proper words and phrases.
Poems such as "Because I Could not Stop for Death," "This is My Letter to the World," and "Success is Counted Sweetest" are only a few of the impressive poems that can be found in The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson. This collection was skillfully put together and is an amazing selection of poems.
Book Review: A Different Poet
Summary: 4 Stars
One either hates or loves Emily Dickinson. I'm one of those who love her. She is able to capture tremendous thoughts in such a few words - and being a "woman of few words" myself, I enjoy that. I would like to know, as I suppose many would, why she became such a recluse. That's probably a mystery we will never understand completely. I do wish this paperback version was a little larger and hence a little thinner. I'm afraid its very thickness may cause it to not wear well.
