At 45, Sophie Perino was finally living life on her terms. She’d left her high paying job at a New York City magazine to put all of her focus on a lifestyle blog that had become her passion project. She’d made peace with her singleness and for the most part life was good. They always say that love comes along when you least expect it. Sophie certainly had never expected to meet wealthy banker, Andrew Messing the day that he walked into her neighborhood cafe and swept her off her feet. And she certainly never expected that she could fall in love so fast.

Despite writing almost 1800 poems in her life, very few were published until after her death. Here, the poems are presented in chronological order in their original form, unaltered by editorial revision, in one volume. It offers a wide-angle view of Dickinson's poetic development, from the clunky rhyme schemes of her youth, through valentines she wrote in the early 1850s, to the gloomy, hell-obsessed writings of her last years.

Because as Jesus keeps eluding the fourth king, he unknowingly gets closer to him with every righteous act he performs.
