Emily Dickinson
(4,523 Sterne; 44 Bewertungen)
Emily Dickinson is one of the most intriguing of American poets. Since she grew increasingly reclusive, very few of her poems were published until after her death. This collection includes two letters Dickinson wrote to her friends on the occasion of the deaths of her friend, Mr. Humphrey, and her brother, Austin. The rest of collection consists of her poetry on the subject of death. (Summary by Libby Gohn) (0 hr 28 min)

Dickinson, magnificent as usual. The gravitas of each sentence just stump all over your core. The selection of poetry is really good, but I'm not sure Miss Gohn is the right person to read poems. She did a good job in the technical parts of the reading, however she was a matter-of-fact type of rhythm that doesn't play along too well with the pacing of poetry (especially if it's "sparkly" like some of Dickinson's poems, however somber they may appear by their content). She was pleasantly good, but not mind-blowing good. With the letters, however, she did an excellent job. I would like to hear Miss Gohn in essays and more epistles. I'm quite sure she'll excel at that.
