Beginning and Ending with Emily: Ghazals & Golden Shovels - Paperback

by Scott Wiggerman (Author)

In this collection, poet Scott Wiggerman does not write alone. He plays with two poetic forms-ghazals and golden shovels-that invite him to draw from the Emily Dickinson poems that speak to so many of us. The resulting poems end up far richer than simple reframings of Dickinson's work. Her words serve as inspiration, a beginning point for Wiggerman to create fresh works entirely his own-poems that can continue speaking to us today.
