By Martha Dickinson Blanche

Edited and with a foreword by Anthony Madrid

From the publisher: This is Emily Dickinson as few saw her—not the poet, not the myth, but the person. And yet Emily Dickinson Face to Face has been out of print almost since it was first published, in 1932. In his foreword to this new edition, the poet Anthony Madrid fills in the novelistic background of the Dickinson family’s squabbles over the right to edit, publish, and profit from Emily’s work, providing essential background to this unforgettable portrait, and explaining why it might have spent so long out of sight.

Favorite review: “Emily Dickinson springs to life in this remarkable, long-out-of-print biography written by her niece . . . Though millions of pages have been written about Dickinson . . . few have provided such a thrilling close-up portrait. Readers will be rapt from the first page.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
