Dickinson, Emily. Poems. Poestenkill, New York, Kaldewey Press, 2000. Folio (31 cm). [32] pp. Dickinson’s poems are obscured by translucent sheets and near-opaque scraps of folded white rag paper, suggesting the curtains behind which this most reclusive of poets lived, wrote and died, and the eternal proximity of the loss of her work to the world, the fragility of all human life and achievement. The fuchsia endpapers enclose the text like the petals of an exotic plant, scarcely revealing that there is anything at all within, suggesting that nature abides immemorially, and dies and lives again unsung. And when it has been sung the song may yet be lost on desert air. [Edition Kaldewey No. 32].
