Part of a new collection of literary voices from Gibbs Smith, written by, and for, extraordinary women - to encourage, challenge, and inspire. 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. Continue your journey in the Women’s Voices series with Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and The Feminist Papers by Mary Wollstonecraft.

Amy Landon did a stellar job. I had heard her voice before but I think this is her best job. Her voice is crystal clear and deep, soothing and filled with emotion. I wouldn’t have finished this one if not for her! Emily was truly a wondrous poet, her metaphors are filled with color, hope and metaphors. A very different experience from what I’m used to but I’m really glad I bought it.

Great

I really wanted to enjoy hearing these poems being read, but the narrator sounds so strange and robotic sometimes that I can't focus on the words.

it is also frustrating that there is not an index or any way to find a specific poem. Something in the book is numbered but I have no idea if it's the poems themselves? And if so, why emphasize the numbers? I'd rather have the titles emphasized.

Really bummed.

The narrator sounds like a robot using autotune.
