EMILY DICKINSON Poems of Travel

Earth, Sea, and Air

$850 / Limited Edition of 100


Rarely venturing from her Amherst home, Emily Dickinson wrote nearly two thousand poems, many set in regions far beyond her experience; distant volcanoes, tempestuous seas, heaven. The Melville Press presents a new edition celebrating selections of her extraordinary poems of ‘travel’.


The design for this edition is contemporary. Featuring one poem per page, each of three sections, Earth, Sea, and Air commences with a richly layered art piece opening beyond the boundary of the book, as Dickinson’s poetic imagination expanded beyond the confines of her room. The text has been elegantly printed letterpress by Arthur Larson. Art pieces by Catherine Kanner printed 8" x 32" on Moab Entrada Rag paper with museum quality pigmented inks by POV Fine Art Print Studio. Binding by Stephanie Gibbs Bookbinder.
