Poemario Bilingüe Emily Dickinson
Poco a poco, pero con fuerza incontenible, los versos de Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) se han ganado un lugar destacado en la lírica universal. Cortos, de rima irregular, irónicos y con puntuación poco convencional, sus poemas han trascendido en el tiempo. En forma de cartas amorosas o composiciones poéticas, Dickinson eligió el riesgo del pensamiento y lo llevó a la pasión y al éxtasis. En un universo de afectos tan estricto como tierno, en constante ebullición, su obra se revela inclasificable e imprescindible. Ha transitado con éxito por el sutilísimo filo que separa el ser del no ser, el exterior del interior, la plenitud del vacío, la palabra del silencio. Esta antología reúne composiciones que juzgan el mundo y lo rechazan, mientras lo subliman al cegador resplandor de la revelación.

About the author
Emily Dickinson
1,318 books7,012 followersEmily Dickinson was an American poet who, despite the fact that less than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime, is widely considered one of the most original and influential poets of the 19th century.
Dickinson was born to a successful family with strong community ties, she lived a mostly introverted and reclusive life. After she studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst. Thought of as an eccentric by the locals, she became known for her penchant for white clothing and her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even leave her room. Most of her friendships were therefore carried out by correspondence.
Although Dickinson was a prolific private poet, fewer than a dozen of her nearly eighteen hundred poems were published during her lifetime.The work that was published during her lifetime was usually altered significantly by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules of the time. Dickinson's poems are unique for the era in which she wrote; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation.Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends.
Although most of her acquaintances were probably aware of Dickinson's writing, it was not until after her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Emily's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that the breadth of Dickinson's work became apparent. Her first collection of poetry was published in 1890 by personal acquaintances Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd, both of whom heavily edited the content.
A complete and mostly unaltered collection of her poetry became available for the first time in 1955 when The Poems of Emily Dickinson was published by scholar Thomas H. Johnson. Despite unfavorable reviews and skepticism of her literary prowess during the late 19th and early 20th century, critics now consider Dickinson to be a major American poet.

¡Por fin lo agregaron a Goodreads!
Creo que tenía las expectativas correctas sobre este libro. Definitivamente hubo vocabulario que no entendí, y los poemas religiosos no me movieron nada realmente, pero los de amor sí me encantaron. Señalé mis favoritos para poder ir analizándolos con más calma, a ver si les encuentro aún más significado.

Oh to be loved like Emily loved Susan.
Es un gran libro para empezar a leer a Emily Dickinson, porque hubieron muchos de los poemas donde los leía y solo me decía a mi misma: "Al parecer no se inglés jajaja" pero ya viendo la traducción uno va tentando el terreno de Dickinson.
