These Fevered Days: Ten Pivotal Moments in the Making of Emily Dickinson
Emily 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.
Martha Ackmann unravels the mysteries of Dickinson’s life through ten decisive episodes that distill her evolution as a poet. Utilizing thousands of archival letters and poems, Ackmann constructs a remarkable map of Emily Dickinson’s inner life. Together, these ten days provide new insights into her wildly original poetry and render a concise and vivid portrait of American literature’s most enigmatic figure.
