Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson lived as a recluse in Amherst, Massachusetts, dedicating herself to covertly writing some of the most startling, unconventional, and visionary verses in English literature. Her slant rhymes, idiosyncratic punctuation, and acute meditations on death, ecstasy, and nature transformed poetry.
Herbert Morris
"Herbert Morris gathers fifteen poems in both of his signature modes, the dramatic monologue and the meditative reverie. The poet's tone is elegiac, his subjects drawn from history and his own early life."--BOOK JACKET.
Rachel Field
A girl imagines the general store she will own someday and all the things for sale in it, from bolts of calico to bunches of bananas.
Jack Marshall
"[Marshall] understands that all worlds, the material and the spiritual, are one, and that the neighborhoods and cities that no longer exist can be conjured by memory and reanimated by art."—San Francisco Chronicle
