This book effectively brings out the multivalence of the poetry of both Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath without sensationalizing either the writers or their work. Although it begins by selecting and demarcating various poems by the two authors thematically, it adopts a multi-pronged approach to the two writers that dissolves all water-tight compartments, and provides a holistic view of the issues raised through the poetry, and the similarities and differences in the approaches, of the two women.

Overheard Voices examines poetic address and in particular apostrophe (the address of absent or inanimate others) in the work of four post-World War II American poets, with a focus on loss, desire, figuration, audience, and subjectivity. By approaching these crucial issues from an unexpected angle--through a study of the seldom-examined lyric "you"--Overheard Voices offers new insight into both contemporary lyric and the lyric genre more generally. The book offers detailed readings of Sylvia Plath, James Merrill, Louise Glück, and Frank Bidart.

A brave little book that reveals for the first time the identity of the poet´s legendary "mystery lover" as Edward Dickinson, her father. "THE RAPE AND RECOVERY OF EMILY DICKINSON, IN HER WORDS, POEMS OF WITNESS AND WORTH", is a book that lives up to its title, clearly showing through eighty-five of her poems the Hon. Edward Dickinson´s dictatorial, sexual opportunism, toward his poet-daughter. The truth preserved and her gorgeous sanity immortalized as well as revealed in these poems of paternal deviance. There seems little doubt this unequal, dreadful relationship was suspected beyond mere speculation by an observant sister-in-law next door, Susan Dickinson, and her small insular society of a mid-century Amherst, Massachusetts.

Emily Dickinson is best known as an intensely private, even reclusive writer. Yet the way she has been mythologised has meant her work is often misunderstood. This introduction delves behind the myth to present a poet who was deeply engaged with the issues of her day. In a lucid and elegant style, the book places her life and work in the historical context of the Civil War, the suffrage movement, and the rapid industrialisation of the United States. Wendy Martin explores the ways in which Dickinson's personal struggles with romantic love, religious faith, friendship and community shape her poetry. The complex publication history of her works, as well as their reception, is teased out, and a guide to further reading is included. Dickinson emerges not only as one of America's finest poets, but also as a fiercely independent intellect and an original talent writing poetry far ahead of her time.
