Poetic Justice "The Emily Dickinson Reader," by Paul Legault
We’re not ashamed to admit poetry has always been just a bit above our pay grade. Verses like “Behold the Atom — I preferred — / To all the lists of Clay!” are just so damn hard to understand.
But Paul Legault has our back.
In his new book, The Emily Dickinson Reader, the Canadian poet hilariously translates every one of Dickinson’s 1,789 poems into pithy, modern-day prose. The result is sheer genius that begs to be recited aloud.
