Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) is the great visionary poet
whose idiosyncratic style, intense inner life, and eternally
questioning mind make her one of the most fascinating and beloved
American writers and the perfect medium for this divination deck. A
"passenger of infinity," Dickinson contemplated the "little
Mysteries" that "harass us like Life and Death" and came up with
these breathtakingly ethereal answers.

"Trinidad turns the paste jewels of pop art into the real
thing."—James Schuyler
"[Trinidad's] most impressive gift is an ability to dignify the
dross of American life, to honor both the shrink-wrapped sentiment
of the cultural artifacts he writes about and his own much more
complicated emotional response to them."—New York Times Book
Review
"There is an unwavering light in all of Trinidad's work that turns
individual words into objects, new facts."—Alice Notley
