The editor, Thomas H. Johnson, the author of 'Emily Dickinson: An Interpretive Biography', & editor of Emily Dickinson's letters, assembled a reading text for this edition, containing all of her 1,775 poems. 'The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson' allows the reader to see as a whole the work of an extraordinary poetic genius, the complexity of her personality, the fluctuation of her mood, & the development of her style. A searing strength of language & an economy of words which recalls Oriental literature overshadow the vivid but gentle lyricism of most of her anthologized work. Emily Dickinson was sometimes mild but often bitter; sometimes unworldly & at other times resentful of her lack of recognition; sometimes fragile but occasionally sharply critical of superficial gentility. She was a person & poet of scope & diversity, but has seldom been represented as such to the general public. Incredibly, she combines an almost negligible worldly experience w/ an intense understanding of life & human feelings. Writing apart from the mainstream of 19th century poetry, she created a poetic language of her own, transforming the domestic into the poetic, creating an entire world form the microcosm of a leaf, a blade of grass or a single metaphor. It was her originality which kept her work in obscurity during her lifetime. Its unconventional metric & rhymes caused Thomas Higginson, a man of letters to whom she sent four of her poems in 1862, to doubt that she was writing poetry at all & to recommend that she delay publication. Even in 1890, when Colonel Higginson first prepared her poems for the printer, he still considered them so unorthodox that he smoothed rhymes, regularized meter, & substituted "sensible" metaphors. Mr. Johnson has, of course, presented the poems in their original texts. Where alternate readings were suggested, he has chosen only those which the poet evidently preferred. His introduction includes a brief explanation of his selection of texts as well as an outline of Emily Dickinson's career. ABOUT THE EDITOR: Mr. THOMAS H. JOHNSON, a distinguished Dickinson scholar, is also the editor of the only other complete edition of Emily Dickinson which exists, a three-volume critical text. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a nominal additional fee & via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL to all international shipments at our posted rates.
