Emily Dickinson: Poems and Letters (Audiobook)
by Emily Dickinson
an explicative book of verse and prose that shows the unique nature of this remarkable poet, showing how her nature causes her raw innovation in verse and chorus. She was so reclusive that her poetry was gathered in volumes that she kept under lock and key in her life. Her verse were not published until after her death. This book attempts to look at when, and how she created her poetry, and how it was rarely shared in her life time. I found so much explanation of the rare courage of writers particularly poets to share their work.

Inspiring

Her words give insights to woman’s role during her time period. Also based on her words, I believe she was enlightened.

Thoughts on enjoying this reading

Excellently read poetry. Most delightful to hear the unique words spoken so as to smoothly clarify the obscure patterns and rhythms…..
