On August 3, 1845, young Emily Dickinson declared, "All things are ready"-and with this resolutestatement, her life as a poet began. Despite spending her days almost entirely "at home" (the occupation listed on her death certificate), Dickinson's interior world was extraordinary. She loved passionately, was ambivalent toward publication, embraced seclusion, and created 1,789 poems that she tucked into a dresser drawer. In These Fevered Days, Martha Ackmann unravels the mysteries of Dickinson's life through ten decisive episodes that distill her evolution as a poet. Ackmann follows Dickinson throughher religious crisis while a student at Mount Holyoke, her startling decision to ask a famous editor for advice, her anguished letters to an unidentified "Master," her exhilarating frenzy of composition, and her terror in confronting possible blindness. Together, these ten days provide new insights into Dickinson's wildly original poetry and render a concise and vivid portrait of American literature's most enigmatic figure"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Dickinson, Emily, $d 1830-1886. 650 0 $a Poets, American $y 19th century $v Biography. 941 $a 12 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430021137.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104020054.0 952 $l P1AX906 $d 20230620012052.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20211020011125.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20201007082323.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20200908010229.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806023243.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200505010630.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20200407010407.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200402010256.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20200307010623.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200227010900.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=77081942337911EAAB6AAA0C97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
