Emily Dickinson & the Demon Lover
By Marion Woodman

Emily Dickinson's poetry reveals the transformation of the "demon" (a compulsive, life-destroying attraction to the forbidden) into the "daemon" (a spiritual, creative guide to a new life). Woodman's powerful reading and insightful commentary take us into the heart of the transformative process.
Topics include the Father Complex; compulsive relationships; much more.

Reviews

[Sandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a really short audio by Marion Woodman who offers a beautiful in-depth psychological perspective into the heart, mind and poetry of Emily Dickinson. Marion Woodman is a lover of Emily D and you can tell. This is passionate and moving as well as insightful. For anyone interested in understanding the father complex, female initiation and individuation as well as fans of Emily D’s work.
