Barnet's shaded and often somber art style adds a thoughtful dimension to Dickinson's timeless verse

The World in a Frame is a hardbound, high-quality collection of forty-six classic poems by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), illustrated with two dozen black-and-white drawings by Will Barnet. Barnet's shaded and often somber art style adds a thoughtful dimension to Dickinson's timeless verse. An introduction by Christopher Benfey rounds out this highly recommended especially for connoisseurs of exquisite literature and emotional art.
