Book Synopsis
An engaging, intimate portrait of Emily Dickinson that sheds new light on her ground-breaking poetry.

Trade Review
"Martha Ackmann is a rare scholar. She is steeped in her subject's work, but also fills her book with the light and sounds of Dickinson's home. Dickinson is at once the most mysterious and yet most accessible of American poets, and she led what has been called the most remarkable unremarkable life in American letters. Ackmann does justice to this creative paradox in her warm and stirring book." -- Cullen Murphy - The Atlantic
