EMILY DICKINSON VS. SARA TEASDALE - Eight Lines at a Time: A face-to-face selection of short poems by two of the most iconic American female authors (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789083244624)

This book is a tribute to the work of Emily Dickinson and Sara Teasdale, two of the greatest representatives of -female- American literature.

It is a carefully crafted selection of 150 poems, all of them 8 lines in length, which are presented face-to-face in pairs -one per author- and with matching themes. In this way, the reader can compare and enjoy the magic of these poets.

Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886) is, without a doubt, one of the most renowned representatives of American Classic Poetry. Her poems and unique writing style, although largely unknown before her passing, have had a remarkable influence on American literature.

Sara Teasdale (1884 - 1933), on the other hand, was favored with success and recognition for her writing, having won the first edition of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Nevertheless, in more recent times she hasn't enjoyed nearly as much recognition as Dickinson.

The 150 Poems in this collection are distributed in four themes:

• Of Love, Heartbreak and Faith
• Of Mother Nature
• Of Life and Emotions
• Of Death

This is a wonderful gift for all poetry lovers.
