Hope Is the Thing with Feathers

From the Women's Voices series, a collection of classic poetry specifically curated to encourage, challenge, and motivate women. One of American's most distinctive poets, Emily Dickinson scorned the conventions of her day in her approach to writing, religion, and society. Hope Is the Thing with Feathers is a collection of her vast archive of poetry to inspire the writers, creatives, and feminists of today. "Emily Dickinson is one of our most original writers, a force destined to endure in American letters. . . . Without elaborate philosophy, yet with irresistible ways of expression, Emily Dickinson's poems have true lyric appeal, because they make abstractions, such as love, hope, loneliness, death, and immortality, seem near and intimate and faithful." - The Atlantic Women's Voices series Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte The Feminist Papers: A Vindication of Rights of Women by Mary Wollstonecraft The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Writings by Charlotte Perkins Gilman Hope Is the Thing with Feathers: Poems by Emily Dickinson
