Kirk states that this is a book written for beginners, when it comes to Emily Dickinson. If you´re a beginner, you couldn´t ask for a better introduction. She helps the reader understand why a poem by Dickinson is printed in various ways using different words and punctuation. Kirk writes just enough about Dickinson´s life to ruin your delight when reading pre-2005 biographies. I had no success reaching the website Kirk gives to find photographic copies of Dickinson´s originals. But she´s upped my interest and I´m still searching.. And summed up by saying You´ll wish the book was longer. Currently Emily Dickinson: A Biography has an overall rating of 10 over 10.
