Emily Dickinson's Gardening Life
The Plants and Places that Inspired the Iconic Poet
“Deeply satisfying for gardeners and garden lovers, connoisseurs of botanical illustration, and those who seek a deeper understanding of the life and work of Emily Dickinson.” —The Wall Street Journal
Award-winning author Marta McDowell explores Emily Dickinson’s deep passion for plants and how it inspired and informed her writing. By weaving together Dickinson’s poems, excerpts from letters, contemporary and historical photography, and botanical art, McDowell offers an enchanting new perspective on one of America’s most celebrated but enigmatic literary figures.
