Emily Dickinson Face to Face
“Here, the famously reclusive poet is depicted in her most intimate light—a treasured relative of an awestruck niece. Though written when Bianchi (1866-1943) was in her 60s, the author’s recollections remain fresh with whimsy . . . Emily Dickinson appears here as an almost mythical, magical figure in her niece’s life.” —Angelina Torre, The Wall Street Journal “Emily Dickinson springs to life in this remarkable, long-out-of-print biography written by her niece. The daughter of Dickinson’s older brother, Bianchi enchants immediately with anecdotes about being babysat by the poet on Sunday mornings when the rest of the household was in church . . . Though millions of pages have been written about Dickinson, as poet Anthony Madrid notes in the book’s foreword, few have provided such a thrilling close-up portrait. Readers will be rapt from the first page.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) “Written by Emily Dickinson’s niece, this memoir — out of print for nearly a century — offers a more intimate side of the poet, from anecdotes detailing her secretly handing out sweets to her interest in the latest gossip, fashions and books.” —The New York Times Book Review “For Bianchi, Dickinson was not merely a magical and beloved aunt but also a metric for her own evolution. She assessed her maturation by the nuance with which she perceives the poet . . . Her affectionate proximity to Dickinson—a proximity Todd did not share—must influence one’s reading of Emily Dickinson Face to Face. If Bianchi, too, mythologized her aunt, it is nonetheless a mythology spun from lived interactions with the woman at their center.” —Rachel Vorona Cote, Poetry “A wonderful example of how biography can illuminate the life and work of an artist even when the artist’s work is not directly addressed, or made the subject of literary criticism. Martha Dickinson Bianchi’s portrayal of her aunt has the same quality of furtive, elusive, and yet revelatory promise that distinguishes Emily Dickinson’s poetry . . . A memoir that is complete and satisfying in itself.” —Carl Rollyson, The New York Sun “What makes this little memoir extraordinary, even unique, in all the millions of pages written about Dickinson is its intimacy . . . Say the memoirist, later known as Martha Dickinson Bianchi (we’ll call her Mattie), was four and Emily Dickinson (ED) was forty, that means Mattie knew ED, more or less continuously, through the last fifteen years of ED’s life. ‘Knew’? She probably cuddled with her. Gotta be only six or seven people in the history of the universe who cuddled with Emily Dickinson, and only one who gives us a child’s-eye view of ED with other grownups.” —Anthony Madrid, from the Foreword

On the Road
Jack Kerouac was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1922. Educated by Jesuit brothers in Lowell, he decided to become a writer at age seventeen and developed his own writing style, which he called 'spontaneous prose'. He used this technique to record the life of the American 'traveler' and the experiences of the Beat Generation, most memorably in On the Road and also in The Subterraneans and The Dharma Bums. His other works include Big Sur, Desolation Angels, Lonesome Traveler, Visions of Gerard, Tristessa, and a book of poetry called Mexico City Blues. Jack Kerouac died in 1969.

De kracht van gras
Walt Whitman en onze tijdMensen zijn geen los zand, maar gras. Elk blad is anders en tegelijk zijn ze alle verbonden. Gras is taai en veerkrachtig, het sterft en komt steeds weer terug. De Amerikaanse dichter Walt Whitman gebruikte dit beeld in zijn visioen van de toekomstige democratische samenleving. Bijna twee eeuwen later is Whitmans spirituele kijk op natuur en samenleving onverminderd actueel. In De kracht van gras verbindt Jan-Hendrik Bakker Whitmans denken en dichten met dat van Hannah Arendt en de Europese traditie van het humanisme. De ecologische en democratische crises vragen om een radicale filosofie waarin kosmos, persoon en samenleving één geheel vormen. Dit boek laat de lezer niet alleen kennismaken met de reikwijdte van Whitmans geest, maar zoekt ook naar manieren om met Whitman de toekomst tegemoet te treden.
