  The present volume bears the name of Margaret Fuller simply, because it is by this name that its subject is most widely known and best remembered. Another name, indeed, became hers by marriage; but this later style and title were borne by our friend for a short period only, and in a country remote from her own. It was as Margaret Fuller that she took her place among the leading spirits of her time and made her brave crusade against its unworthier features. The record of her brief days of wifehood and of motherhood is tenderly cherished by her friends, but the story of her life-work is best inscribed with the name which was hers by birth and baptism, the name which, in her keeping, acquired a significance not to be lost nor altered.

  On August 3, 1845, young Emily Dickinson declared, “All things are ready” and with this resolute statement,her life as a poet began. Despite spending her days almost entirely “at home” (the occupation listed on her deathcertificate), Dickinson’s interior world was extraordinary. She loved passionately, was hesitant about publication,embraced seclusion, and created 1,789 poems that she tucked into a dresser drawer.In These Fevered Days, Martha Ackmann unravels the mysteries of Dickinson’s life through ten decisive episodesthat distill her evolution as a poet. Ackmann follows Dickinson through her religious crisis while a student at MountHolyoke, which prefigured her lifelong ambivalence toward organized religion and her deep, private spirituality. Wesee the poet through her exhilarating frenzy of composition, through which we come to understand her fiercely selfcritical eye and her relationship with her sister-in-law and first reader, Susan Dickinson. Contrary to her reputationas a recluse, Dickinson makes the startling decision to ask a famous editor for advice, writes anguished letters to anunidentified “Master,” and keeps up a lifelong friendship with writer Helen Hunt Jackson. At the peak of her literaryproductivity, she is seized with despair in confronting possible blindness.Utilizing thousands of archival letters and poems as well as never-before-seen photos, These Fevered Days constructsa remarkable map of Emily Dickinson’s inner life. Together, these ten days provide new insights into her wildly originalpoetry and render a concise and vivid portrait of American literature’s most enigmatic figure

  The Mercy Papers - A Memoir of...

  When Robin Romm's The Mother Garden was published, The New York Times Book Review called her "a close-up magician," saying, "hers is the oldest kind [of magic] we know: the ordinary incantation of words and stories to help us navigate the darkness and finally to hold the end at bay." In her searing memoir The Mercy Papers, Romm uses this magic to expand the weeks before her mother's death into a story about a daughter in the moments before and after loss.  With a striking mix of humor and honesty, Romm ushers us into a world where an obstinate hospice nurse tries to heal through pamphlets and a yelping grandfather squirrels away money in a shoe-shine kit. Untrained dogs scamper about as strangers and friends rally around death, offering sympathy as they clamor for attention. The pillbox turns quickly into a metaphor for order; questions about medication turn to musings about God. The mundane and spiritual melt together as Romm reveals the sharp truths that lurk around every corner and captures, with great passion, the awe, fear, and fury of a daughter losing her mother. The Mercy Papers was started in the midst of heartbreak, and not originally intended for an audience. The result is a raw, unsentimental book that reverberates with humanity. Robin Romm has created a tribute to family and an indelible portrait that will speak to anyone who has ever loved and lost.
