Her frequent attention to pain and death, like her reclusive tendencies, has led many to dismiss her as \"morbid.\" Biographers and critics, however, have shown how she used her writing and her own acquaintance with pain to reach out consolingly to sufferers. In a widely varied collection of personal reminiscences, tributes, and scholarly essays, editors Cindy MacKenzie and Barbara Dana offer richly revealing perspectives on how the exquisite language in the poems and letters of Emily Dickinson helps readers cope with suffering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe essays featured in \u003cem\u003eWider than the Sky\u003c\/em\u003e range from fresh scholarly analyses to highly personal essays and meditations, each offering thoughts on the emotional, spiritual, and physical healing power gained from reading Dickinson.
