{"product_id":"visiting-emily-sheila-coghill-9780877457398","title":"Visiting Emily: Poems Inspired by the Life and Work of Emily Dickinson","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis unique anthology gathers work by eighty poets inspired by Emily Dickinson. Beginning with Hart Crane's 1927 poem \"To Emily Dickinson\" and moving forward through the century to such luminary figures as Archibald MacLeish, John Berryman, Yvor Winters, Adrienne Rich, Richard Eberhart, Richard Wilbur, Maxine Kumin, Amy Clampitt, William Stafford, and Galway Kinnell, \u003ci\u003eVisiting Emily\u003c\/i\u003e offers both a celebration of and an homage to one of the world's great poets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf there was ever any doubt about Dickinson's influence on modern and contemporary poets, this remarkable collection surely puts it to rest. Gathered here are poems reflecting a wide range of voices, styles, and forms--poems written in traditional and experimental forms; poems whose tones are meditative, reflective, reverent and irreverent, satirical, whimsical, improvisational, and serious. Many of the poets draw from Dickinson's biography, while others imagine events from her life. Some poets borrow lines from Dickinson's poems or letters as triggers for their inspiration. Though most of the poems connect directly to Dickinson's life or work, for others the connection is more oblique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheila Coghill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0877457395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780877457398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.23h x 5.50w x 0.41d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2000 pg. 1590\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2000 pg. 145\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/20\/2000","brand":"Sheila Coghill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47199904596223,"sku":"9780877457398","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_61e70f7d-240a-41fa-a760-6fa71286d51f.jpg?v=1756785543","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/visiting-emily-sheila-coghill-9780877457398","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
