Emily Dickinson’s Poems: As She Preserved Them is a major new edition of Dickinson’s verse intended for the scholar, student, and general reader. It foregrounds the copies of poems that Dickinson retained for herself during her lifetime, in the form she retained them. This is the only edition of Dickinson’s complete poems to distinguish in easy visual form the approximately 1,100 poems she took pains to copy carefully onto folded sheets in fair hand—arguably to preserve them for posterity—from the poems she kept in rougher form or apparently did not retain. It is the first edition to include the alternate words and phrases Dickinson wrote on copies of the poems she retained. Readers can see, and determine for themselves, the extent to which a poem is resolved or fluid.

With its clear and uncluttered pages, the volume recommends itself as a valuable resource for the classroom and to general readers. A Dickinson scholar, Miller supplies helpful notes that gloss the poet’s quotations and allusions and the contexts of her writing. Miller’s Introduction describes Dickinson’s practices in copying and circulating poems and summarizes contentious debates within Dickinson scholarship.

Emily Dickinson’s Poems: As She Preserved Them brings us closer to the writing practice of a crucially important American poet and provides new ways of thinking about Dickinson, allowing us to see more fully her methods of composing, circulating, and copying than previous editions have allowed. It will be valued by all readers of Dickinson’s poetry.

Arvustused

This book brings us as close as we can get to how [ Dickinson] presented her work Sparing us the task of deciphering the poets sometimes challenging handwriting and presenting intriguing variants, this edition demonstrates why generations of writers have been galvanized by Dickinson This edition brings us that much nearer to what this exceedingly decisive and willful writer wanted. It sweeps away distractions caused by posthumous fame, leaving us with the poems themselves Closer than previous editions to Dickinsons wishes, priorities and personality, Emily Dickinsons Poems: As She Preserved Them calls for no redundant plays, films, novels or warbling. What remains is lightning bolts of language akin to the trouvailles of Arthur Rimbaud and other powerful magicians of verse. -- Benjamin Ivry * Literary Review * [ Dickinsons] fluid approach to poetic composition [ is] clarified in Cristanne Millers painstaking new edition of Dickinsons poems. -- Christopher Benfey * New York Review of Books * Miller chooses rightly not to number Dickinsons poems, as previous editors have done, and allows them instead to name themselves in their first lines. More importantly, though, she does make a convincing case for Dickinsons having wanted to preserve and organize her works as poems, to decide, for the most part, on their finished forms. -- Fiona Green * Times Literary Supplement * Millers approach works well, not only to give readers agency, but also to show Dickinsons thought process Miller crafts an edition that artfully accommodates Dickinsons process of continuously reworking poems. -- Meg Schoerke * Hudson Review * Cristanne Millers edition of Emily Dickinsons Poems: As She Preserved Them is surely the best poetry book of all this past year. Whod have expected such a surprising, new and fruitful way to read the great poet? -- Don Share * Irish Times * Reading the volume straight through, its a pleasure to discover and re-discover Dickinsons odd metaphors and strange sounds in poems that oscillate between whimsical riddle and hard-nosed philosophical meditation Emily Dickinsons Poems delivers. -- Micah Mattix * Washington Free Beacon * This new edition of Dickinsons poems attempts nothing less than to shift the center of gravity and value in present-day Dickinson studies back to the fascicles, the poets own manuscript books. Miller has done the community of general readers as well as scholars a huge service in compiling this edition. -- Mary Loeffelholz, Northeastern University A remarkable new resource in a wonderfully accessible format. This edition offers readers a print version of the manuscript poems Dickinson retained and that, Miller argues, Dickinson preserved for posterity. -- Paul Crumbley, Utah State University Millers edition gives us something like the Collected Poems Dickinson might have published in different circumstances. An invaluable book for Dickinson scholars and general readers alike. -- Bonnie Costello, Boston University
