The Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson (Modern Library Classics)

Surely a poet that looked at love and life thru the lens of dark glasses. She was an incurable romantic with a fatalistic attitude.If you would like to visit true love, keep this on your coffee table and lay the remote down.

Always inspiring and truthful, for those who enjoy this genre.

An ok book for a light sense of Dickinson.

Simple and easy read :)

This is a superb edition of Dickinson's poems. It is "reader friendly" with updated punctuation (which purists may not like) with an excellent selection. The Billy Collins introduction is outstanding, being highly informative and entertaining without any pretensions whatsoever. He adds great insight into Dickinson's use of common meter, language, metaphor, and other techniques. Grab a bottle of water and an apple and spend a great afternoon or two with this exceptional volume.

These are classic poems, although I'm just not a huge fan or her writing style. But I do respect the writer.

I ordered this for my grandson as a birthday present. When it arrived it had 99 cents written on the cover with a permanent marker - which was not the price I paid. Very disappointed and embarrassed
