Hope is the Thing with Feathers Book

Emily Dickinson wrote about a bird that lives in the soul and never stops singing, and this book gives that bird a very good-looking home. A hardcover collection of Dickinson's poems, dressed in a coral-red jacket with a silver ribbon banner, hand-lettered title, and a little bluebird perched among white and marigold blooms. The poems are the real attraction: short, strange, luminous, and as full of nerve as ever, about hope, nature, loneliness, and the astonishing inner life of one very private person. It's a book that opens at any page and gives you something to carry around for the day.

Handsome enough to leave out on a coffee table, small enough to slip into a bag, and the kind of poetry collection that invites dipping in rather than reading cover to cover. A thoughtful gift for the poetry lover, a graduate, a friend who could use a little encouragement, or anyone who keeps a stack of books by the bed.

One of American’s most distinctive poets, Emily Dickinson scorned the conventions of her day in her approach to writing, religion, and society. Hope Is the Thing with Feathers is a collection of her vast archive of poetry to inspire the writers, creatives, and feminists of today.

Hope is the Thing with Feathers Book measures 5.5" L x 7.5" W x 1" H and has 336 pages.
