These letters were casually writing to friends and family but it could astonish readers by revealing a pure poet at heart.

Emily Dickinson had been a mysterious individual to me before I read this book and she remains so even after I finished it. Each letter to a recipient painted a different version of her (yet still genuine) and somehow, there is still a part that I could feel she was hiding among the gaps of those letters. Emily Dickinson appeared through these letters as a private person and a genius with words. Each celebration, condolence and sympathy was distinctively written. She also used metaphors so marvellously that I had to pause and dive deeper.
 It can be a good book to open at random and revisit a page or two from time to time.

This is the first title I got in the Everyman’s Library sets (specifically, the Pocket Poet Series). I am pleased with the book design so much and I hope to acquire more books from this series soon.
