While working on school things, I listened to Dickinson’s poetry and letter collection. As a favorite poet of mine, Dickinson has themes of death, immortality, and atmospheric tones that put you in the fall mood in October.

I listened to this as an audio book. I enjoyed hearing her letters and works- but I feel like there is more to her history that was glossed over here.

Excellent! GREAT background included that puts the poems in context. I'll probably listen again!

I really liked this selected collection of Dickinson’s poems and letters. Each section is organized around a theme or period of Dickinson’s life, prefaced by a biographical sketch then followed by poems and letter excerpts. I liked this thematic structure, as it really helped to better understand the arc of her work. And the letters were just as well written and fascinating as her poetry!
