El resto es prosa

The exact moment at which Emily Dickinson met Susan Huntington Gilbert is unknown, but there is evidence of their first letter, sent in 1850, which gave rise to an intense epistolary relationship that lasted for four decades, until Emily's death in 1886. This volume contains a selection of those texts, which transcended the mere exchange of letters and reinforce the image of a fascinating woman ahead of her time. Under the apparent banality of everyday issues, lies the strength of a prose inspired by an unconditional and lasting love, so much so that it was Susie who took care of Emily in her last days and made custody of her invaluable literary legacy.
