Written from the point of view of Dickinson's sister after the reclusive poet has died, this brief volume blends a few biographical tidbits with twenty-one of Dickinson's poems. Vibrant paintings rendered in a folk-art style serve the rich imagery of the poetry well, but the abstract nature of some of the verse makes this small, squarish volume a more sophisticated book than its tone and appearance suggest.
