Relation Toward Books A Murmur in the Trees
Emily Dickinson is one of the world's best known and most widely read poets, though at the time of her death in 1886, only seven of her more than 1000 poems had been published. But shortly thereafter, the genius of her work was recognized and it has since received wide and consistent acclaim. Her verse - noted for its style, wit and bold and startling imagery - has greatly influenced the direction of 20th-century poetry. The 112 poems in this collection are taken from the definitive Johnson edition of her work and are accompanied by 65 pencil drawings, created especially for the book by Ferris Cook.Details Books In Favor Of A Murmur in the Trees

A collection of nature poems by Emily Dickinson. This is a nice edition, and a lovely gift for someone who might not be totally familiar with the poetess' work.
I cant imagine a nicer presentation of poetry. I love the drawings, the selection of poems, the paper, the font, the binding, everything. It is a lovely book.As for the poems themselves, there is clearly a lot more to them than I can understand. I would like to learn their secrets one day. But for now I am content to read them and wonder.
