Emily Dickinson: Letters by Emily Dickinson

The same voice and insights that make emily dickinson’s poems immortal can be found in the 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.
