Hardcover This introduction to the poetry of Emily Dickinson includes more than 35 of her best-loved poems, accompanied by precise, whimsical illustrations. Bolin's four-page introduction describes and explains Emily Dickinson's odd life style and creative productivity. This is followed by 36 poems loosely arranged by the topics of hope, death, and poetry. This organization, however, is not readily apparent; nor is the reasoning behind defining some words (gale, bog, shanties, etc.) and not others (dimity, helmsman, countenance). An index of first lines and little else will help readers searching for poems by subject. The prettily colored watercolors are flat and stylized, and seem better suited to nursery rhymes than Dickinson's insightful and witty glimpses of an entire universe in a blade of grass or of paradise gathered by narrow hands. Includes more than 35 of Dickinson's best loved poems, including I'm nobody, who are you? and I started early, took my dog. The choice of...Emily Dickinson is a good one....Chi Chung's illustrations...are precise and sometimes whimsical....Attractive and inviting....will give young readers something special.--Quill & Quire. Bolin's four-page introduction describes and explains Emily Dickinson's odd life style and creative productivity....prettily colored watercolors.--Library Journal. ...footnotes glossing antiquated diction are well-handled and the precis on Dickinson's church-hymnal metric is a model of its kind.--Washington Post. . . . shot through with magical charm and graceful beauty. . .--Buzz Weekly.
