Miss Emily’s Fire
The Orthodox Elements in Emily Dickinson’s Spirituality and Mysticism

by Archbishop Chrysostomos

ISBN 978–0–911165–97–5
60 pp.
$4.95


Emily Dickinson is one of America's more beloved poets. Better known in the twentieth century than in the nineteenth, when she lived, her fame has endured well into the twenty-first century. Archbishop Chrysostomos’ short new book, an eloquent study, recounts her life and work and discusses her religious belief with finesse and insight, identifying soupçons of Orthodox mysticism in what have at times been portrayed-wrongly, as His Eminence contends-as her anti-Christian religious ideas and spirituality. —Hieromonk Patapios
