EMILY DICKINSONWILD NIGHTS: SELECTED POEMSselected and introduced by Miriam ChalkGift Book (Pocket Size = 6 x 4 inches)One of the most extraordinary poets of any era, American poetess Emily Dickinson wrote a huge amount of poetry (nearly 1800 poems). This book ranges from her early work to the late pieces, and features many of Dickinson’s most famous pieces. This new edition includes many new poems. Emily Dickinson’s poetry is among the strangest, the most compelling and the most direct in world literature. There is nothing else quite like it. She writes in short lyrics, often only eight lines long, often in regular quatrains, but often in irregular lines consisting of two half-lines joined in the middle by a dash (such as: 'Tis Honour - though I die’ in 'Had I presumed to hope'). Her subjects appear to be the traditional ones of poetry, blocked in with capital letters: God, Love, Hope, Time, Nature, the Sea, the Sun, the World, Childhood, the Past, and so on. Yet what exactly is Dickinson discussing? Who is the ’I’, the ’Thee’, the ’we’ and the ’you’ in her poetry? This is where things become much more ambiguous. Dickinson is very clear at times in her poetry, until one considers deeper exactly what she is saying - but this ambiguity is one of the hallmarks and the delights of her art. As an example of Emily Dickinson’s idiosyncratic use of punctuation, particularly the dash, this is from 'Behind me - dips Eternity': Behind me - dips Eternity - Before Me - Immortality - Myself - the Term Death but the Drift of Eastern Gray,Dissolving into Dawn away,Before the West - No other poet has made such a distinctive use of the dash which does for full stops, commas, colons and semi-colons. The dash serves to break up the flow of Dickinson’s verse, but it also connects together a series of thoughts. The only other poet I can think of who uses the dash so profusely is Arthur Rimbaud. As with Rimbaud, Dickinson’s use of the dash hints at a rush of information, one phrase piling on top of the other. It is a rush of data which’s sometimes found in mystical writings. As with Rimbaud, Dickinson’s poetry sometimes looks as if she were very excited, as if the experience in the poetry is threatening to erupt out of the form of the verse.Includes an introduction, bibliography, notes. 100 pages. A small, pocket size edition, ideal for gifts. Also available in paperback. With a full colour laminate cover. www.crmoon.com

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family.

The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...
