Widely considered the definitive edition of Emily Dickinsons poems, this landmark collection presents her poems here for the first time as she preserved them, and in the order in which she wished them to appear. It is the only edition of Dickinsons complete poems to distinguish clearly those she took pains to copy carefully onto folded sheets in fair handpresumably to preserve them for posterityfrom the ones she kept in rougher form. It is also unique among complete editions in presenting the alternate words and phrases Dickinson chose to use on the copies of the poems she kept, so that we can peer over her shoulder and see her composing and reworking her own poems. The worlds foremost scholar of Emily Dickinson, Cristanne Miller, guides us through these stunning poems with her deft and unobtrusive notes, helping us understand the poets quotations and allusions, and explaining how she composed, copied, and circulated her poems. Millers brilliant reordering of the poems transforms our experience of them. A true delight, this award-winning collection brings us closer than we have ever been to the writing practice of one of Americas greatest poets. With its clear, uncluttered page and beautiful production values, it is a gift for students of Emily Dickinson and for anyone who loves her poems.

This book brings us as close as we can get to how [Dickinson] presented her work Sparing us the task of deciphering the poets sometimes challenging handwriting and presenting intriguing variants, this edition demonstrates why generations of writers have been galvanized by Dickinson This edition brings us that much nearer to what this exceedingly decisive and willful writer wanted. It sweeps away distractions caused by posthumous fame, leaving us with the poems themselves Closer than previous editions to Dickinsons wishes, priorities and personality, Emily Dickinsons Poems: As She Preserved Them calls for no redundant plays, films, novels or warbling. What remains is lightning bolts of language akin to the trouvailles of Arthur Rimbaud and other powerful magicians of verse. -- Benjamin Ivry * Literary Review * [Dickinsons] fluid approach to poetic composition [is] clarified in Cristanne Millers painstaking new edition of Dickinsons poems. -- Christopher Benfey * New York Review of Books * Miller chooses rightly not to number Dickinsons poems, as previous editors have done, and allows them instead to name themselves in their first lines. More importantly, though, she does make a convincing case for Dickinsons having wanted to preserve and organize her works as poems, to decide, for the most part, on their finished forms. -- Fiona Green * Times Literary Supplement * Millers approach works well, not only to give readers agency, but also to show Dickinsons thought process Miller crafts an edition that artfully accommodates Dickinsons process of continuously reworking poems. -- Meg Schoerke * Hudson Review * Cristanne Millers edition of Emily Dickinsons Poems: As She Preserved Them is surely the best poetry book of all this past year. Whod have expected such a surprising, new and fruitful way to read the great poet? -- Don Share * Irish Times * Reading the volume straight through, its a pleasure to discover and re-discover Dickinsons odd metaphors and strange sounds in poems that oscillate between whimsical riddle and hard-nosed philosophical meditation Emily Dickinsons Poems delivers. -- Micah Mattix * Washington Free Beacon * This new edition of Dickinsons poems attempts nothing less than to shift the center of gravity and value in present-day Dickinson studies back to the fascicles, the poets own manuscript books. Miller has done the community of general readers as well as scholars a huge service in compiling this edition. -- Mary Loeffelholz, Northeastern University A remarkable new resource in a wonderfully accessible format. This edition offers readers a print version of the manuscript poems Dickinson retained and that, Miller argues, Dickinson preserved for posterity. -- Paul Crumbley, Utah State University Millers edition gives us something like the Collected Poems Dickinson might have published in different circumstances. An invaluable book for Dickinson scholars and general readers alike. -- Bonnie Costello, Boston University
