Reprint. (Third printing of the 2016 Folio Society edition.) Hard cover 8vo in white cloth printed in black with wood engraved landscape design by artist Jane Lydbury to all boards, and with a blue-printed semi-transparent parchment dust jacket printed with a female figure and quotation from the Author's verse. Patterned printed blue endpapers. CONDITION: Fine, like new. [xxiii], 136pp. including biographical introduction, and index of first lines. The famously reclusive Amherst, Massachusetts poet Emily Dickinson, (1830-1866) who had few of her verses published during her lifetime, is nonetheless regarded as a major American poet, whose spare words invite even the modern reader to ponder deeply on universal themes. " ...in a few words, her sharp imagistic perception can suggest deep meanings through unexpected turns and striking phrases." The poems in this edition follow "The Poems of Emily Dickinson". edited by Thomas H. Johnson, first published by the Belknap Press of Harvard University Press. REF: I. Haverstick et al, "Emerging Voices, American Women Writers 1650-1920" (New York: Grolier Club, 1998). A fresh, clean copy printed on Abbey rough paper, complementing the wood engravings of the London artist Jane Lydbury, whose illustrations, prints and engravings have appeared in various small press offerings as well as Folio Society editions.
