Book & Review Forums: Poems by Emily Dickinson

Bummer

1 out of 5

What a bummer! This is the version in which Todd and Higginson have edited Dickinson's dashes out and replaced them with commas. I am disappointed and am unsubscribing to this one.

  • I agree. Was so disappointed when the first poem arrived. The poems lose all their vitality and power edited like this. I unsubscribing too.

  • Sorry to hear you are disappointed. We source our classics from Project Gutenberg, and the only version they have available is the edited one.

  • Thanks for the heads up! Saved me the frustration of discovering that for myself.
