{"product_id":"the-master-letters-isbn-9780679765998","title":"The Master Letters","description":"The title of this richly textured book derives from two of the three mysterious letters left by Emily Dickinson--the ones addressed to \"Dear Master.\" Lucie Brock-Boido has imagined a series of letters echoing devices found in Dickinson's own work. \"We feel we are in the presence of something entirely new, \" says Bonnie Costello in \u003ci\u003eThe Boston Review\u003c\/i\u003e. \"Not even Brock-Broido's wonderful first book, \u003cb\u003eA Hunger\u003c\/b\u003e, prepares us for this bold encounter.\"Lucie Brock-Broido is the author of an earlier book of poems, \u003cb\u003eA Hunger\u003c\/b\u003e (1988). From 1988 to 1993 she was a Briggs-Copeland poet at Harvard University. She has taught also at the Bennington Writing Seminars and at Priceton University, and is now director of poetry in the Writing Division in the School of the Arts at Columbia University.
