I love the concept of a bio that zeros in on an artist's favorite hobby. Something about focusing on something besides her writing made Emily Dickinson feel more like a real person instead of her standard brilliant poet role. The page layouts are gorgeous - McDowell discusses ED's relationship to gardening throughout her life, along with photos, illustrations, poems, and excerpts from letters. 🌺🌻🌼🌷🪻

monalyisha Wow, yeah. What a pretty example of book as visual art! 1mo

TheBookHippie I just LOVE IT! I‘m so happy you did as well!!! 1mo

Texreader How awesome!! Love this post too!! 1mo

This quote is from a family friend of the Dickinson's about visiting and being received by Emily 🍷⚘️
I am loving this so far - I keep trying to ignore the cold weather in my present reality and transport myself into Emily Dickinson's expansive garden @TheBookHippie @monalyisha

TheBookHippie I loved it so very much! ♥️ 3mo

batsy This sounds lovely! Inspired by @vivastory I'm reading through Dickinson's Collected Poems this year. 3mo

Billypar @TheBookHippie It might be the nudge to finally get me into gardening. But failing that, certainly Dickinson's poetry. 🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷🪻🪷 3mo

TheBookHippie @Billypar I do both June to September every year AKA when there isn‘t snow. I collected Emily Dickinson books. 3mo

TheBookHippie @batsy enjoy I think I‘ve read through them every year since I was 13 😂♥️ 3mo

Billypar @batsy That's a great project - I'd definitely like to read more of her poetry. And just more poetry, period. 3mo

Billypar @TheBookHippie That's great on both counts: you are certainly this book's target audience! 3mo

TheBookHippie @Billypar yes, I actually received two copies as gifts- one I write in one I keep pristine. 😂😅 3mo

batsy @TheBookHippie That's amazing. I certainly need to incorporate more poetry into my daily reading; it requires me to actually pay attention, sit with it for awhile, not rush through. 3mo
