The Emily Sonnets: The Life of Emily Dickinson

40 pp. | Creative Editions | November, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-56846-215-8 $19.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Gary Kelley. Yolen presents the broad scope of Dickinson's life in just fifteen graceful sonnets. Told in various voices, from Emily herself and relatives to critics and even Yolen, the poems illuminate the revered poet's background, relationships, reclusiveness, and most importantly, her writing. Like the verse, Kelley's paintings are subdued and dignified. Appended notes elaborate on each sonnet and further readers' understanding.
