In her second collection of poems, award-winning poet Kelli Russell Agodon creates a delicate balance between the seriousness of life and a brilliant sense of playfulness. A book about anxiety, spirituality, and the various ways we correspond including letters, postcards, love notes, conversation, song, and prayer.
“These are poems of remarkable liveliness. In their wide-ranging wit and passion for language, their surprising juxtapositions of the ordinary and the exalted, and their willingness to foreground doubt in a search for meaning, they show a fellowship with the work of Dickinson that is deep without ever being solemn. Here is a fresh, distinctive voice that is consistently engaging and surprising.”
—Carl Dennis
In Letters from the Emily Dickinson Room, a most unexpected feat of poetic legerdemain, Kelli Russell Agodon composes on the high-wire of misprision and semantic accidents. She is an aerialist hovering above language without a net, and is possibly the wittiest anagramist in recent memory (pray for poets becomes the story of paper). All I can say is: reader, go with hershopping for coffins. Go with her as she nails light to paper. The rewards are many.
—Carolyn Forché
Kelli Russell Agodon's book, Letters from the Emily Dickinson Room, is a bright, funny, touching meditation on loss, love, and the power of words. Her genius is in the interweaving of God and Vodka, bees and bras, astronomy and astrology, quotes from Einstein and Dickinson, a world in which gossip rags in checkout lines and Neruda hum in the writer's mind with equal intensity.
—Jeannine Hall Gailey
