Summary: 5 Stars
As a few have stated already, a lot of Emily Dickinson's poems appear simple on the surface. Don't let the simplicity or brevity fool you, boiling underneath the metaphors of Dickinson's poems are some of the most beautiful visions I've ever read. Intelligent, thoughtful..haunting are all words I'd use to describe her poems. She has quickly vaulted to the top of the list of my favorite poets along with William Blake and Edgar Allan Poe.And speaking of her poems, there are plenty. All of them in fact, in chronological order allowing the reader to see the progession in her poems. This is a great book at a great price to be able to own all she has written.
Since her poems have no titles, there are two invaluable features included at the back to help aid the search for the desired poem. One is an alphabetical subject index, with words and lines linked to poems with which they belong. The other index includes the first lines of all 1775 poems.
An excellent all around souce for all your Emily Dickinson needs. Enjoy.
Book Review: I've had this book for 10 years now...
Summary: 5 Stars
And I still turn to it all the time. It is well-worn and well-read. There are newer editions of Dickinson's poetry, but this relatively compact book feels like an old friend. The use of language and phrasing is divine - so to speak. *smile* I cannot recommend this work enough.Meeting by Accident,
We hovered by design -
As often as a Century
An error so divine
Is ratified by Destiny,
But Destiny is old
And economical of Bliss
As Midas is of Gold -
Book Review: Kathy, it's DEMUR, not DEMURE! No small difference...
Summary: 5 Stars
Much Madness is divinest Sense - To a discerning Eye - Much Sense - the starkest Madness -
'Tis the Majority
In this, as All, prevail -
Assent - and you are sane -
Demur - you're straightway dangerous -
And handled with a Chain -
Book Review: the starkest Madness-

I like the way she manipulates language...how everything is more than it seems, and I love her slashes and dashes. Slash and Dash.
