In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet of the past. By their choice of poems and by the personal and critical reactions they express in their prefaces, the editors offer insights into their own work as well as providing an accessible and passionate introduction to some of the greatest poets in our literature.Emily Dickinson (1830-86) was born in Amherst, Massachussetts, where she lived most of her life as a recluse, seldom leaving the house or receiving visitors. She published just a handful of poems in her lifetime, her first collection appearing posthumously in 1890.

About the Author

Ted Hughes was born on 17 August 1930 in Mytholmroyd, a small mill town in West Yorkshire. His father made portable wooden buildings. The family moved to Mexborough, a coal-mining town in South Yorkshire, when Hughes was seven. His parents took over a newsagent and tobacconist shop, and eventually he went to the local grammar school.In 1948 Hughes won an Open Exhibition to Pembroke College, Cambridge. Before going there, he served two years National Service in the Royal Air Force. Between leaving Cambridge and becoming a teacher, he worked at various jobs, finally as a script-reader for Rank at their Pinewood Studios.In 1956 Hughes married the American poet Sylvia Plath, who died in 1963, and they had two children. He remarried in 1970. He was awarded the OBE in 1977, created Poet Laureate in December 1984 and appointed to the Order of Merit in 1998. He died in October 1998.Ted Hughes's first book, The Hawk in the Rain, was published by Fabe

5.0 out of 5 stars Succinct guide, excellent selection
Reviewed in Japan on 26 September 2009

ヒューズの編集したハンディーなデキィンソン詩集。序論は簡潔。アリス・クインもブジラーとの対談（ビデオで鑑賞可能）でディケンソンの序論に言及し、好意的な評価をしている。詩の数が多いため、編集には撰者のスタンス、好みが如実に現れるが、選び出された詩は死や絶望を厚かったものが多い。

1.0 out of 5 stars Incomprehensible
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 December 2017

This slim collection provides the curious reader with a sample of US poet Emily Dickinson’s works from which to explore further if desired. I certainly won’t be reading anymore of her poems as I neither understood or liked any of them. I found them to be completely inaccessible and unreadable. Most of them are very short and they are filled with hyphens and unnecessarily capitalised words. Couldn’t make sense of them at all. Maybe a keen student or an academic could appreciate them but they passed my by. I reckon you would need to be taught how to read and comprehend them,like my son has in his A2 studies. To be honest if I was clearing this reclusive poet’s room after her death and found these poems I would just have thrown them into the bin, not have got them published.

I do not hate the book as I am sure it will be wonderful but the length of time it is taking is unacceptable
