<DIV>Perfect for the poetry fan who is short on time, <I>The Emily Dickinson Reader</I> offers Paul Legault's ingenious and madcap one-line renderings of each of Dickinson's 1,789 poems. Take that familiar chestnut, #314, a la Legault: ?Hope is kind of like birds. In that I don't have any.” Or the classic hymn, #615: ?God likes to watch.”<BR><BR>As Dickinson herself said in #769 (basically, via our translator): ?This dead person used to be a person!”?and <I>The Emily Dickinson Reader</I> is here to tell you what that person meant.</DIV>
