- catalog abstract "Virtually unpublished in her lifetime and unknown at her death in 1886, Emily Dickinson stands today in the front rank of American poets. Though she lived as a recluse in her father's house in Amherst, Massachusetts, her imagination knew no bounds, ranging with utter fearlessness through a vast landscape of love, immortality, nature, joy, faith, and despair. After Dickinson's death, her sister Vinnie was stunned to discover a locked box containing over nine hundred poems - an extraordinary body of work which the poet considered her "letter to the world." This edition gathers a rich harvest of the finest of these poems, carefully selected by the staff of The New York Public Library. Arranged chronologically, they chart the development of a poetic sensibility fired by immediacy of perception and a magnificent grasp of language. Emily Dickinson and her world are further evoked here with rare manuscripts and prints drawn from the Library's special collections, including a selection of the poet's handwritten letters.".

- catalog description "I heard a fly buzz when I died -- I think I was enchanted -- I would not paint a picture -- The trees like tassels hit and swung -- I watched the moon around the house -- This world is not conclusion -- I dreaded that first robin so -- Your riches taught me poverty -- The tint I cannot take is best -- If I may have it, when it's dead -- I'm ceded -- I've stopped being theirs -- It was not death, for I stood up -- I died for beauty but was scarce -- I started early -- took my dog -- I cannot live with you -- There's been a death, in the opposite house.".
- catalog description "I measure every grief I meet -- Much madness is divinest sense -- I dwell in possibility -- Because I could not stop for death -- If I can stop one heart from breaking -- I learned at least what home could be -- As imperceptibly as grief -- Presentiment is that long shadow on the lawn -- Struck was I, not yet by lightning -- My life had stood -- a loaded gun -- One of the ones that Midas touched -- Let me not mar that perfect dream -- Because that you are going -- I have no life but this -- There is no frigate like a book -- My life closed twice before its close -- The spirit lasts -- but in what mode.".
- catalog description "Includes bibliographical references and index.".
- catalog description "Selections include: "Sic transit gloria mundi" -- I taste a liquor never brewed -- A narrow fellow in the grass -- One sister have I in our house -- I never lost as much but twice - Bring me the sunset in a cup -- I cautious, scanned my little life -- Two swimmers wrestled on the spar -- I felt a funeral, in my brain -- "Hope" is the thing with feathers -- There's a certain slant of light -- There came a day at summer's full -- How the old mountains drip with sunset -- 'Twas like a maelstrom, with a notch.".
