YOUR SCHOLAR If you would like to continue on into the inside of Emily,through her lettters, than I suggest you buy the book where I got these letters from. It is entitled SELECTED POEMS & LETTERS OF EMILY DICKINSON. EDITED BY ROBERT N. LINSCOTT. It is a fasinating book that takes you along the journey of her life through her letters.The poetry is delightful if you are a Emily Dickinson fan. Back to the Yellow Brick Road
