Houses of paper

Emily could glimpse the beginning and end of everything. She couldn't see a baby without imagining the old man it would become. Similarly, when she saw an old man, she could clearly see the child he didn't remember. This novel about the renowned American poet Emily Dickinson delves into the depths of this intriguing figure, touching upon her most intimate and private feelings. It reveals why the poet chose a life of isolation and seclusion from the world around her, causing her world to shrink year after year, like a rope tightening around itself, until finally, her true home became the world of her writing. Through exceptionally poetic language, the reader is exposed to a multitude of turbulent emotions, most of which can only be expressed through silence, and pains that, if unleashed, would consume everything. It is the story of a poet who chose solitude; despite writing over 1700 poems, only 11 were published during her lifetime. And after her death, she became one of the most important poets in history. Her very own paper house remains standing tall, untouched by the hand of oblivion. And Emily remains present even as she "e;approaches the end... as we become, with the passing years, the sum of all those wounds that kill us quietly."e;
