The Master Letters

"Original in concept, vibrantly executed, these poems exult in mystery. In this they take their cue from three letters left by Emily Dickinson...In Brock-Broido's hands this literary curiosity is expanded from correspondence to cosmology...Brock-Broido's imagination claims and explores the territory sketched out by Dickinson. It is as if the later poet created her own mentor out of Dickinson's poems and letters, having recognized a temperament and passionate intellect similar to her own. The result is dazzling."Lucie Brock-Broido is the author of 'The Master Letters', published 1997 under ISBN 9780679765998 and ISBN 0679765999.
