Skies in Blossom : The Nature Poetry of Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson's most wondrous poetry emerged from her encounters with the creatures & objects of nature that surrounded her Amherst home. This collection pays tribute to her poetry's magic, with 43 poems that glow with the suchnessÓ & nownessÓ of robins, bats, mushrooms, stones, snakes, dandelions, hummingbirds, dawns, & summer showers. Dickinson's words grow out of an intense, almost spiritual awareness of her world, a communion with it, blended of equal parts watchful attentiveness & metaphysical wonder. Frank suffuses her 21 shadow papers -- forms cut from paper that come alive when held up to light -- with the same balance of austerity & glorious fullness that is the hallmark of Dickinson's poetry.Cott, Jonathan is the author of 'Skies in Blossom : The Nature Poetry of Emily Dickinson', published 2006 under ISBN 9781422353752 and ISBN 1422353753.
