THE DICKINSON SUBLIME
first edition
1990 · Madison, WI
by STONUM, Gary Lee
Madison, WI: University of Wisconsin, 1990. First printing. 8vo, pp. 221. Little marking in text in one chapter, o/w a nice copy in slightly faded dj. Stonum sees the "sublime encounter" as the basis for the poet's work; that encounter being a three-phase sequence: normalcy, trauma, then sublimation. He sees her protagonists as lingering at the moment between trauma and sublimation. (Inventory #: 26994)
