"A gem!"

It's great! This is amazing! This is brilliant! I love every part of this book! First of all, the cover. It's fabric. So it's hard to open a book without stroking it. It is so soft and pleasant to the touch. The tactile sensations are at the highest level. Then the pictures. There are not so many illustrated books for adults. The pictures in this book are well chosen and fit perfectly with the style of the book and complement the verses. The visual experience is also top notch. And finally, the verses themselves. I fell in love with Emily Dickinson many years ago. Her poems are so vital, alive, real. If once they touch the soul, they will not let go. To be honest, at that time I was reading translations. And of course, I had a burning desire to read them in the original. And here they are. In this very book. The collection is compiled carefully, although without my favorite poems. So emotional sensations are at the top of all the above. It took me a year to finish the book. And as soon as I read the last poem, I realized that I had already begun to miss him. The totality of all sensations set the mood for the whole day, feeling that it was already impossible to refuse them. This is the best gift I have ever received <3
