"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)

" 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." "
" 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. "
" 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. "
" 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 locked herself away for her craft. I love to read her words. "
" 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.... "
