Emily Dickinson and Philosophy

Emily Dickinson's poetry is deeply philosophical. Recognizing that conventional language limited her thought and writing, Dickinson created new poetic forms to pursue the moral and intellectual issues that mattered most to her. This collection situates Dickinson within the rapidly evolving intellectual culture of her time and explores the degree to which her groundbreaking poetry anticipated trends in twentieth-century thought.

Lie Still: A Novel

'Lie Still' is a murder mystery and a character study and a well-crafted family drama, all wrapped up into one beautiful little package. It's suspenseful and solidly written, in an elegant, no-nonsense style. It's funny and tragic and harrowing - as Emily tries to figure what's going on, if a spectre from her past has come back to haunt her new life or if this is some unknown threat hovering over her, I was compelled to follow all the way to the end.
