The Emily Dickinson Reader: An English-To-English Translation of Emily Dickinson's Complete Poems (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781936365982)

Perfect for the poetry fan who is short on time, The Emily Dickinson Reader offers Paul Legault's ingenious and madcap one-line renderings of each of Dickinson's 1,789 poems. Take that familiar chestnut, #314, a la Legault: ?Hope is kind of like birds. In that I don't have any." Or the classic hymn, #615: ?God likes to watch."

As Dickinson herself said in #769 (basically, via our translator): ?This dead person used to be a person!"?and The Emily Dickinson Reader is here to tell you what that person meant.
