/ OUT OF STOCK |
A fictional diary of one year in the poet's life.
“An inspired creation. Fuller, a poet, translator, and editor, has absorbed Dickinson's poetry like a plant soaks up sunlight, and her literary photosynthesis revitalizes our appreciation for Dickinson's art and wisdom.” “Lovely in conception, words, character, detail.” — Kirkus Reviews In 1916, during reconstruction of the Dickinson homestead in Amherst, Massachusetts, a workman discovered, hidden in a crevice in the wall of her conservatory, Emily Dickinson's secret diary. Through various hands it reached the possession of Jamie Fuller, who has edited the entries and offered background information that sheds light on the text and its author. Interspersed among the entries are twenty-five previously unknown Dickinson poems that never found their way to Emily's famous "packets" to be published after her death. In this literary tour de force, Jamie Fuller has brought Emily Dickinson's poetry, letters, and the biographical information we have about her life together with factual history of Amherst in 1867 in a work so delicately and smoothly written, in a style so closely resembling Emily's own, that it becomes difficult to separate fact from fiction. |
