The Gorgeous Nothings

The Gorgeous Nothings is the the first full-color facsimile edition of Emily Dickinson's manuscripts ever to appear. This beautiful edition includes full-scale reproductions of Dickinson's late writings, presenting this crucially important, experimental body of work exactly as she wrote it, on carefully deconstructed scraps of envelopes, each accompanied by a transcription to facilitate reading of the original. The Gorgeous Nothings offers a never-before possible glimpse into the process of one our most important poets. [publisher's note]
