Nice book. Would make a great present. The illustrations are pleasant enough although not really my style. I bought the book for the poetry, and on a whim. I'm not sure why, I have the complete works of Emily Dickinson. But this is a colorful and fun way to read a few of her nature poems. Who doesn't like Dickinson? And nature is the go to subject of many poets.

Turn someone on to poetry. This colorful, easy book might be just the thing to do so.

Seperti kata pak SDD, puisi itu bukan untuk dipahami, tapi untuk dihayati :)
Apalagi ditambah ilustrasinya yang menyenangkan.

This book is BEAUTIFUL! From the cover, with it's textured, vibrant, and stunning nature scene with the colorful peacock, butterfly, flowers and birds to the inside with the powerful, timeless and moving words of Emily Dickinson this book is a must for lovers of nature, poetry and art in one amazing collaboration. You can draw your own pictures inspired by the poems or color or elaborate upon the ones provided. I cannot wait to really dive into this book in Spring, when the weather is warming and the birds are chirping. I cannot wait to dive into the creative and inner part of myself. Emily Dickinson is my FAVORITE poet as well, so I feel like I hit the jackpot with this gorgeous book. 5 stars
