Yet another edition of her poems edited to fit convention. All of her capitalization and unique punctuation has been standardized. It would be wonderful to find her poetry published for young people in the voice she intended. This book is not it.
This book is full of the most beautiful poems ever written. It is a wonderful introduction to the poems of Emily Dickenson. Highly recommended.
This is a nice little paperback well suited for a pocket. Scholastic made a neat and organized way to introduce children to her poetry.Her poetry is definitely unique, and it can be hard to grasp, depending on the age of the reader. If you don't really like poetry, it probably wouldn't be your cup of tea. But it doesn't take too long to read through, so it's worth a shot if you have some time.
The lovely drawings add to Dickinson's wonderful poetry so that each page turns to a new experience and has to stay open, for looking and rereading for at least a day.
