THE BOOK CLUB ISSUE OF THE FIRST EDITION OF EMILY DICKINSON'S POETRY IN ONE VOLUME, this issue appears to be far more scarce in commerce than the regular issue. Emily Dickinson has become a mythic character in the history of American poetry. Almost unrecognized while she lived, her work continues to be read and studied all over the world. This is the first edition of the complete works of Dickinson in a single volume. This collection "allows the reader to see as a whole the workof an extraordinary poetic genius, the complexity of her personality, the fluctuation of her mood, and the development of her style. A searing strength of language and an economy of words which recalls Oriental literature overshadow the vivid but gentle lyricism of most of her anthologized work." Dickinson had a unique style, creating her own method of rhyme and verse. These poems reflect Dickinson's own words rather than the editing of her contemporaries, who thought she was too unorthodox.
