Potos evokes these writers-contemporaries living across the Atlantic from one another-as muses and mentors, following in Bront?'s steps across the moors, their \"wuthering skies\", \"the gorse \/ grazing my ankles as I go.\" And we are there with her, blown about by the wind that \"is wider up there\", where the \"moor air \/ erases your every last edge\". At the Emily Dickinson Museum, Potos wonders \"how would it be to live \/ in the aftermath of her? Would she guide \/ my hand across the modern page?\" One is tempted to say yes. Potos daringly takes up the challenge of situating herself among the greatest writers of their age and succeeds brilliantly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eJudith Sornberger\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Sorority of Stillness: A Gallery of Women in Art\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eI Call to You from Time\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrea Potos invites us to join writers in a quiet Amherst bedroom, or fields where wind erases the edges of heather and gorse-or to be delighted by remembered poets in a mall, a gym or a movie theater.

Through dream, letter, history, travel, memory and pure imagination, we enter the real and literary lives of not only two Emilys, but also an Andrea. I love the weaving in of familiar themes and language-from the moor and gorse to the white gown and the Amherst home-plus there are plenty of surprises! It's a joy of a collection to read-a playful, soulful honoring of two writers who changed the ways we see the world.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosemerry Wahtola Trommer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Unfolding\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e and host of \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Poetic Path\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Potos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1639806873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639806874\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelsay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.12d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrea Potos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46825929834751,"sku":"9781639806874","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b23a937c-3f44-4ce8-a18f-1c16e55e5499.jpg?v=1746074056","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/two-emilys-andrea-potos-9781639806874","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
