Guten Morgen, Mitternacht

What do we know about the real life of Emily Dickinson, who said of herself: "I dwell in possibility"? We know that she completely withdrew from the outside world and, by candlelight at night, wrote her most secret thoughts and feelings in her unique poetic telegram style on loose sheets of paper, which she then kept bundled in small packages in a locked chest. Emily Dickinson is regarded as the American poet of the 19th century and is a role model for all subsequent poets in America and Europe. This edition includes a selection of 94 of her most famous poems along with excerpts from her correspondence with Dickinson's literary mentor Thomas Wentworth Higginson, as well as a biographical afterword by the translator.
