"I've had this book for about 10 years now and I usually have it with me or nearby. I love Dickinson - I love how direct she can speak about a topic by leaving a blank space. This collection of her works is special, and includes some of her personal letters. Such a fan. " — Callie (5 out of 5 stars)

" Boy. She was one incredible cookie. "
" I've read the entire someodd 500 pages multiple times! I love, love, love me some Emily!!! "
" I fought liking Emily Dickinson all my life, but I recently got this book and I'm really enjoying it! I surprised myself. "
" When you write melancholy poems of teenage angst and turn them in for extra credit to your English teacher, this is the book she gives you as a graduation gift. The question is: are you destined to be a hermit too? "
" Pretty good stuff. I used to be a huge fan of Dickinson, but I found her poems less intriguing this time around--maybe because I've read her stuff too much, maybe because this was required reading. Most of the poems in this book are pretty well-known. "
" Great poems, absolutely LOVED them. I also found it interesting how her friends titled the poems, though I didn't always see why they chose what they did. All in all, great book, you can get it really cheap online. "
" It was ok. Most of her poems are not really my cup of tea, if you know what I mean. But it was nice to have a book that includes all three series of her poems. "
" Brief and beautiful nuggets of wisdom, with a few true greats. It's a tiny volume - read it in an hour or savor it for a few days. "
" Meravigliose, tutte meravigliose. "
" good and depressing, but her nature poems are suprisingly uplifting "
" I adore the way she pulls from nature and finds the beauty and lessons there. I just love her poetry!! "
" Dickinson's poetry is not easy, but it is often amazing. I saw Julie Harris perform in the Belle of Amhurst and was so enthralled I couldn't stop there. "
" Not many poets beat Emily. Recommended for all. "
" I didn't read all of them...who has? (There are over 1800.) But my students read 25 of them and I got all excited about Dickinson again. What an amazing poet. "
" she is my favorite poet. if you enjoy poetry this is a fantastic book. it inspires me "
" Poesie meravigliosamente malinconiche e delicate, ma mentirei se sostenessi che mi abbiano sconvolto la vita. "
" She locked herself away for her craft. I love to read her words. "
" Mooie gedichten in een mooie taal ! "
" Sad, clever, beautiful "
" the pocket classic does violence to Dickinson. One can safely say that anyone providing a positive review of this is actively harming poetry with thoughtlessness. This symbolizes what kills writing, and has no resemblance to the author's poems. Shelve it under pulp or "recycle bin." "
" She writes wonderful poetry. I have read her this winter and many times in the past. "
" The rhyming scheme just doesn't sit well with me. I enjoyed a few poems but kept sing-songing them in my head. Further cementing my theory that I only like free verse. "
" My favorite poet of them all. "
" I had no time to hate, becauseThe grave would hinder me,And life was not so ample ICould finish enmity.Nor had I time to love, but sinceSome industry must be,The little toil of love, I thought,Was large enough for me. "
" She's kicking my butt. Monastic life style choice, or did she have a choice? What would she have lived in another century, girl that she was? Queen of metaphor. Porous, joyous, imprisoned recluse. She's joyous and she kind of hurts to read.... really good though! "
" Emily is an amazing poet, she strung words together in such a way that I could not help but to love her poems. "
" I remember some of the poems from high school and college, but others were new to me. Nice collection. "
" This isn't the edition I own and have read, but I couldn't find mine on the site. Nevertheless, I love Dickenson's poems and get a kick out of perusing my book. "
" I return to her poetry over and over again, always finding something new, discovering what I need, laughing or smiling, and ultimately, understanding myself a little more each time. "
" i am nobody who r u? r u nobody too? then there is a pair of us.... "
