My Letters to the World and Other Poems

My Letters to the World and Other Poems
Written by Emily Dickinson, illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault

Isabelle Arsenault has created a subtle meditation on Emily Dickinson’s life and its intersection with her verse. In the dream-like illustrations, the poet — sometimes serene, often sad and always enigmatic — is an omnipresent figure in her ghostly white dress. Includes biographies of Dickinson and Arsenault.
