Star Book I: Edition of 12 in shades of blue papers. (Last Copy) Maryann Riker: "This little miniature star book ... unfolds to reveal images of antique celestial maps with a poem by Emily Dickinson interspersed throughout the pages. This little tome is a tribute to the later work of this poet as she grappled with agoraphobia and wrote and created her small worlds through her words. Each little star book is different in imagery but the words remain the same [within each version]." |
