Publisher's Synopsis

A beautiful hardcover selection of Emily Dickinson's best-loved, most enduring poems. AN EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY POCKET POET.

Virtually unknown as a poet in her lifetime, Emily Dickinson is now recognized as one of the most unaccountably strange and marvelous of the world's great writers. Unique in their form, their psychic urgency, and their uncanny, crystalline power, her poems represent a mind unlike any other to be found in literature.

This Everyman's Library Pocket Poets hardcover edition of Emily Dickinson collects the most famous and beloved of her poems, and includes an index of first lines.

Including:

 "Because I could not stop for death"
 "Tell all the Truth but tell it slant"
 "I dwell in Possibility"
 "I heard a fly buzz - when I died"
 "Forever - is composed of Nows"
 "The Fact that Earth is Heaven"

Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a jewel-toned jacket.

About the Publisher

Everyman's Library

Everyman's Library was founded on 15th February 1906 with the publication by Joseph Dent (1849-1926) of fifty titles. Dent, a master bookbinder turned publisher, was a classic Victorian autodidact. The tenth child of a Darlington house-painter, he had left school at thirteen, and arrived in London with a half crown in his pocket. He promised to publish new and beautiful editions of the world's classics at one shilling a volume, 'to appeal to every kind of reader: the worker, the student, the cultured man, the child, the man and the woman' so that 'for a few shillings the reader may have a whole bookshelf of the immortals for five pounds (which will procure him a hundred volumes) a man may be intellectually rich for life'. 'Infinite riches in a little room', as he also put it.
