About this audiobook
Born in Massachusetts in 1830, Emily Dickinson composed over 1770 poems; but apart from her closest friends, no-one knew she was writing at all. Only after her death was her astonishing output discovered and published. A reclusive figure for much of her life, few could have imagined the range of her subjects, the intensity of her imagination or the powerful delicacy of her writing. Emily Dickinson is one of America’s greatest writers. This selection includes 147 of her best known poems, and is a perfect introduction to her unique voice.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Emily Dickinson is a delight to read. Her poems feel light and airy and with grace and beauty she paints little pictures with her words.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Teresa Gallagher's reading of the Prophetess is clearly informed by comprehension, as evidence the studied arcs of inflection, lilt and pause that flesh out argument, contrast, inquiry. Her approach augments the open child of unlearned wonder that creeps and rushes through Her more leafy or feathered poems, and - much to my surprise - modulates to the crystal, silent ice of her more overtly philosophic verses. The reader does not hesitate to pull out all of the theatric costumes ordered by each of the Enchanted Seer's revelations. All hail the eternal Sybll of Amherst, and this Gallagher, her worthy acolyte.

In the story she has a section of poems that describe something and you have to guress what she is talking about.Personal Response: This was a fun book to read. Even though poetry is not my thing I really did enjoy the stories in this book.Classroom Extension Ideas: You could read them a story and have them try to guess what she is describing. Also you could have the students pick their favorites and draw a picture about it.
