Bøger af Emily Dickinson

The startling originality of Emily Dickinson's style condemned her poetry to obscurity during her lifetime, but her bold experiments in prosody, her tragic vision, and the range of her intellectual and emotional explorations have since won her international recognition as a poet of the highest order.

Hvem var Emily Dickinson? Svaret er enkelt: en af verdens største digtere. Dickinson (1830-1886) voksede op i Amherst, Massachusetts blandt calvinistiske protestanter. Hun rejste sjældent uden for Amherst, men læste med glubende appetit bl.a. kvindeforfattere som Elisabeth Browning, George Eliott og Brontë-søstrene. Allerede som 12-årig viste hun sig som en markant brevskribent, som afslørede en vittig, overraskende og egensindig fantasi. Venskab var umådelig vigtigt for hende, og hendes kærlighed både til mænd og kvinder kommer til udtryk såvel i brevene som i digtene.     Hun skrev lidenskabeligt om at være kvinde og digter, om kvinderelationer, om kriser, kærlighed, storhed, svigt – samt solnedgange, så det syder om ørerne på læseren. Kun ti digte fik hun trykt, mens hun levede, men hun blev en bestseller efter sin død.     Allerede før sin død blev Emily Dickinson kaldt "Myten". I det stærkt religiøse Amherst nægtede hun hele sit liv at gå i kirke om søndagen. Hun isolerede sig og gik kun i hvide kjoler. En markant selviscenesættelse og anderledeshed udadtil, som sikrede hende arbejdsro indadtil – en vis beskyttelse mod datidens patriarkalske fordømmelse af den nye kvindelige selvbevidsthed – men samtidig skjulte en usikkerhed der måske gjorde, at hun aldrig nåede frem til den forlægger, der faktisk bad om at læse hendes digte, mens hun levede. Hun levede et tilsyneladende afsondret og begivenhedsløst liv – eller gjorde hun? Hendes nærmeste familie gjorde i hvert fald ikke. Det kom der verdenslitteratur ud af.Ved sin død efterlod Emily Dickinson 1775 digte. Bente Clod har udvalgt og oversat 142 digte, som også gengives på amerikansk – samt skrevet en omfattende indledning om den passionerede digter og udgivelsen af hendes digte efter hendes død.

'Not knowing when the dawn will come I open every door' Emily DickinsonThe very best of Emily Dickinson's poems in a beautiful gift edition

Another gorgeous copublication with the Christine Burgin Gallery, Emily Dickinson's Envelope Poems is a compact clothbound gift book, a full-color selection from The Gorgeous Nothings.

Lovingly compiled by a close friend, this first collection of Dickinson's letters originally appeared in 1894, only eight years after the poet's death. Animated by the same spirited sensitivity as her much-admired verse, Dickinson's correspondence vividly depicts characters and incidents from her reclusive life, and her famous wit sparkles from every page.

I. SUCCESS. [Published in "A Masque of Poets" at the request of "H.H.," the author's fellow-townswoman and friend.] Success is counted sweetest By those who ne'er succeed. To comprehend a nectar Requires sorest need. Not one of all the purple host Who took the flag to-day Can tell the definition, So clear, of victory, As he, defeated, dying, On whose forbidden ear The distant strains of triumph Break, agonized and clear!

A selection of the remarkable letters of Emily Dickinson in an elegant Pocket Poet edition. The same inimitable voice and dazzling insights that make Emily Dickinson's poems immortal can be found in the whimsical, humorous, and often deeply moving letters she wrote to her family and friends throughout her life. The selection of letters presented here provides a fuller picture of the eccentric recluse of legend, showing how immersed in life she was: we see her tending her garden; baking bread; marking the marriages, births, and deaths of those she loved; reaching out for intellectual companionship; and confessing her personal joys and sorrows. These letters, invaluable for the light they shed on their author, are, as well, a pure pleasure to read.

Poems by Emily Dickinson: Second Series by Emily Dickinson and edited by two of her friends Mabel Loomis Todd and T.W. Higginson. The eagerness with which the first volume of Emily Dickinson's poems has been read shows very clearly that all our alleged modern artificiality does not prevent a prompt appreciation of the qualities of directness and simplicity in approaching the greatest themes - life and love and death. That "irresistible needle-touch," as one of her best critics has called it, piercing at once the very core of a thought, has found a response as wide and sympathetic as it has been unexpected even to those who knew best her compelling power. This second volume, while open to the same criticism as to form with its predecessor, shows also the same shining beauties. Although Emily Dickinson had been in the habit of sending occasional poems to friends and correspondents, the full extent of her writing was by no means imagined by them. Her friend "H.H." must at least have suspected it, for in a letter dated 5th September, 1884, she wrote: - MY DEAR FRIEND - What portfolios full of verses you must have! It is a cruel wrong to your "day and generation" that you will not give them light.

Emily Dickinson is widely considered to be one of the greatest of American poets. The aphoristic style and wit of much of her verse, its irregular rhymes, directness of expression, and startling imagery have had a profound effect on twentieth-century literature. Over a hundred of Dickinsons best poems are collected here. These unique and gemlike lyrics are pure distillations of profound feeling and great intellect. They contain a world of imagination, observation, and precisely articulated spiritual and emotional experience. As editor Brenda Hillman says, this small and succinct collection can serve as a guidebook to readers who are exploring the highs and lows of the human experience.

THE verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called "the Poetry of the Portfolio,"--something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and the unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was absolutely no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without setting her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a very few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print, during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiously indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness.

This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.

"Emily Dickinson's beloved poem "'Hope' is the thing with feathers" takes flight in this beautifully illustrated adaptation, reminding us that hope is always there when we need it, never asking for anything in return."--

"In Hope is the Thing with Feathers, readers follow the story of a little bird who brings joy to everyone through his song. When a storm hits, the little bird's song is diminished, but he never gives up, and when the storm passes he is there to give joy again as people rebuild."--Amazon.com.
