Withoutthe energy to die
Through interviews with modern students, shut readings of Dickinson’s correspondence and handwritten manuscripts, and a suggestive, newly came upon photo that's alleged to express Dickinson along with her lover, Charyn’s literary sleuthing finds the nice poet in ways in which have in simple terms been hinted at formerly: as a lady who used to be deeply philosophical, intensely engaged with the realm, drawn to individuals of either sexes, and ready to write poetry that disturbs and delights us today.
Jerome Charyn is the writer of, so much lately, Bitter Bronx: 13 Stories, I Am Abraham: a unique of Lincoln and the Civil War, and The mystery lifetime of Emily Dickinson: A Novel. He lives in New York.
