A distinguished colleague at one of our CCCU campuses, Dr. Susan VanZanten of Seattle Pacific University (home of a low-res M.F.A. Program and the literary journal, Image), announces her new publication on one of my favorites: Emily Dickinson!

Susan writes: “I’m delighted to announce that my new book on Emily Dickinson is now available. Written for a general audience, it provides an introduction to reading Dickinson that helps readers unpack Dickinson’s intense but brief poems, supplying historical background and personal stories in order to help readers to embark upon their own meditative journeys with Dickinson.”

Prayer: “The soul should always stand ajar. / Ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.”
