Produced in conjunction with an exhibition organized by the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College, this handsome volume explores the impact of Emily Dickinsons persona and poetry on contemporary art in America. Spurred by feminism and recent critical writings, many visual artists have turned to the poets life and literary images for inspiration. They have engaged the issues raised by her poetry and the particular circumstances of her life and have attempted to transform her oblique language into tangible objects.Presenting the work of thirteen artists, as well as ten poets, this book showcases a wide range of responses to Dickinsons poetry. Three introductory essays set the stage for the artworks: Karen SanchezEppler examines the visual dynamic in Dickinsons poetry; Polly Longsworth traces the ways in which the famous daguerreotype of Dickinson has conditioned our responses to her; and Christopher Benfey surveys her imprint on contemporary American poetry.Each of the artist entries is accompanied by a color illustration and the text of a related Dickinson poem. The artists include Will Barnet, Judy Chicago, Joseph Cornell, Robert Cumming, Lesley Dill, Mary Frank, Roni Horn, Carla Rae Johnson, Paul Katz, Barbara Morgan, Aife Murray, Barbara Penn, and Linda Schwalen. The poets whose work is represented are Hart Crane, Richard Wilbur, John Berryman, Adrienne Rich, Amy Clampitt, Sandra M. Gilbert, Thomas Lux, Mary Jo Salter, Lucie BrockBroido, and Agha Shahid Ali.

I appreciate the concept of linking Dickinson’s poetry with modern art, but I felt some chapters were a bit shallow. The art showcased is beautiful, yet I was hoping for more analysis. Still, it’s a decent read for those curious about the topic.

Disappointing Quality
I was really excited to receive this book, but it arrived with some pages wrinkled. The content itself is intriguing, but the physical quality wasn't up to par. I expected better for the price. Maybe I’ll try a replacement?
