Perfect for the poetry fan who is short on time, The Emily Dickinson Reader offers Paul Legault s ingenious and madcap one-line renderings of each of Dickinson s 1,789 poems. Take that familiar chestnut, #314, a la Legault: Hope is kind of like birds. In that I don t have any. Or the classic hymn, #615: God likes to watch.
As Dickinson herself said in #769 (basically, via our translator): This dead person used to be a person! and The Emily Dickinson Reader is here to tell you what that person meant.
