Divining Poets: Dickinson
A Quotable Deck from Turtle Point Press
Trinidad is a superlative editor, as well as writer. He won a Lambda Literary Award in Poetry for his work editing A Fast Life: The Collected Poems of Tim Dlugos. This deck would make an excellent literary gift item, as it contains the wisdom of Emily Dickinson selected by a beloved, well-connected, prize-winning author whose career spans three decades.
This item is nonreturnable.
Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) is the great visionary poet whose idiosyncratic style, intense inner life, and eternally questioning mind make her one of the most fascinating and beloved American writers and the perfect medium for this divination deck. A “passenger of infinity,” Dickinson contemplated the “little Mysteries” that “harass us – like Life – and Death” and came up with these breathtakingly ethereal answers.
David Trinidad is the author of more than twenty books of poetry, collaborations, and edited volumes. Among them are Swinging on a Star, Notes on a Past Life, and Dear Prudence: New and Selected Poems. Winner of a Lambda Literary Award and finalist for the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize, he is a professor of poetry at Columbia College, Chicago.
