Opis

The Voice at the Door recreates the fateful meeting of Emily Dickinson with the famous Philadelphia pastor, Charles Wadsworth. Using the letters and poems of Emily Dickinson and the sermons of Charles Wadsworth, this fictional account weaves a rich tapestry of intellectual and spiritual communion and encompasses the three great mysteries of Emily Dickinson's life: her agonized love poetry of the early 1860's, her partial blindness in1863-1865, and her subsequent withdrawal from the world. The Voice at the Door brings to life an Emily Dickinson who possesses the intellectual rigor, the naivete, the eccentricity, the passion, the despair, and the sly humor that we know and love from her poetry."
