The Poetry of Emily Dickinson / Die Poesie von Emily Dickinson
(Bilingual English – German Edition • Zweisprachige Englisch – Deutsche Ausgabe)
Emily Dickinson’s revolutionary verses awaken anew in this groundbreaking bilingual edition, where her dashes, capitals, and explosive brevity meet their German counterparts. The Belle of Amherst’s most piercing poems—about death, hope, and the soul’s landscapes—now converse across languages while preserving their startling originality.
About the Poet:
The recluse who revolutionised poetry from her father’s house in Amherst, Emily Dickinson wrote nearly 1,800 poems that her neighbours never suspected existed. In white dresses and sharp wit, she compressed universes into hymn stanzas—writing about bees with the same intensity she brought to mortality. Though only seven poems were published in her lifetime, her work now stands as America’s most original poetic voice, where “zero at the bone” meets “ecstasy.”
