[It] Incandescent (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780979132063)

It] Incandescent puts us on the path near Emily Dickinson's home in a timeless Amherst where we embark on a multi-layered journey: poems written by a fictional narrator are interceded by details from Emily's life as well as the tragic story that propels the narrator to a stunning, yet indeterminate, conclusion. What was Dickinson's "secret" and how does the experience of trauma both obscure and reveal? In this truly sui generis book, poetry, fiction, and fact blend, reminding us of the complex tissue of narratives and psychologies whenever we try to uncover the truth of someone's life, especially Emily Dickinson's.
