This collection presents Emily Dickinson’s poems between 1858 and 1864. In her early thirties, Dickinson bound around 800 of her poems, into forty handmade booklets, also called “fascicles” by scholars.This edition is inspired by the original booklets of Dickinson and expresses the 40 booklets in a new artistic approach. The booklet size and the binding are slightly adjusted, the original ordering of the poems and booklets are kept. Moreover this edition showcases the carefully typesetted poems, the original handwritten manuscripts and plants from the writer’s earlier herbarium from 1839 – 1846. A booklet can be easily read by turning each page. In addition to the usual reading, each single sheet can be pulled out to reveal Dickinson’s original handwritten poems. The 40 fascicle covers show selected leaves and flowers matching the season in which a fascicle was written.
