95 pages ; 19 cm "The Envelope Poems is a small gift-book selection of Emily Dickinson's writings on envelope scraps. A full-color edition, The Envelope Poems presents a selection in facsimile publication of her crucially important, most experimental late work. The Envelope Poems is a selection from a larger collection, previously co-published by New Directions and Christine Burgin: Emily Dickinson's The Gorgeous Nothings, a project created by the visual artist Jen Bervin and the noted Dickinson scholar Marta L. Werner, which presented all of Emily Dickinson's late compositions on envelopes. The Envelope Poems collects color facsimiles of 30 of her envelope writings with visual transcriptions by Bervin and Werner. This selection of these facsimiles of Dickinson's late work on envelopes makes this poetry available in a small, affordable gift-size cloth edition" -- "A Christine Burgin/New Directions Book"--Copyright page "Although a prolific poet, Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) published fewer than a dozen of her eighteen hundred poems. She preferred not to, and among the thousands of makeshift and fragile manuscripts of Dickinson's later writings we find her "envelope poems". Intensely alive and charged with a special poignancy - addressed to no one and everyone at once - the selection of Dickinson's envelope poems and fragments gathered here reminds us of the contingency, transience, vulnerability, and hope embodied in all our messages."--taken from back cover Emily Dickinson ; with transcriptions by Marta L.
