Emily Dickinson at Home
Martha Dickinson Bianchi’s portrayal of her aunt, first published in 1932, has the same quality of furtive, elusive, and yet revelatory promise that distinguishes Emily Dickinson’s poetry.
‘Emily Dickinson Face to Face’
By Martha Dickinson Bianchi
Foreword by Anthony Madrid
McNally Editions, 112 pages
