EMILY DICKINSONS GARDENING LIFE (HB)

Emily Dickinson was a keen observer of the natural world, but less well known is the fact that she was also an avid gardener ? sending fresh bouquets to friends, including pressed flowers in her letters, and studying botany at Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke. By weaving together Dickinson’s poems, excerpts from letters, contemporary and historical photography, and botanical art, this book offers an enchanting new perspective on one of America’s most celebrated but enigmatic literary figures.
