Emily Dickinson text set*

My boys and I enjoyed Emily Dickison's poetry during our monthly Poetry Tea.  We ate gingerbread with whipped and of course, drank tea.  Since some of Dickinson's poems were riddles we also read riddle poems written by other poets.
Below are the books we shared:
1. The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson Introduction and Notes by Rachel Wetzsteon (Young Adult)


2.  Vision in Poetry-My Letter to the World and other Poems  with illustrations by Isabelle Arsenault (Young Adult)  * I found it somewhat difficult to determine where one poem ended and where the next one began.


3. Emily Dickinson by Maurene Hinds (short biography 45 pages)


4. Poetry for Young People Emily Dickinson Edited by Fances Schoonmaker Bolin illustrated by Chi Chung (*I like how words from the poems are defined.  Lovely illustrations too.)


5.  Poetry for Kids -Emily Dickinson Edited by Susan Snively, PhD illustrated by Christine Davenier (*Whimsical, sweet illustrations.  The poems are categorized by season.  Unusual words are defined for the reader.)


6. Guess Again! Riddle Poems by Lillian Morrison illustrated by Christy Hale


7. Riddle Road Puzzles in Poems and Pictures by Elizabeth Spires illustrated by Erik Blegvad
(*I really enjoyed this one!)


8. Emily by Michael Bedard illustrated by Barbara Cooney (a fictional picture book about Emily Dickinson)


9.  The Mouse of Amherst by Elizabeth Spires illustrated by Claire A. Nivola (A mouse learns to write poetry while living in Emily Dickinson's room.  The length, font and set up make it like a chapter book, but the prose is not divided into chapters.  64 pages long Recommend for 2nd grade-6th grade.)
