A Book

"A Book" is a short poem by Emily Dickinson that follows a reader who devours words as if they were food and drink. Poor and bound to a frail body, he finds his spirit growing strong. Dingy days turn into a dance, and a simple book becomes a gift of wings. In just a few lines, the poem captures the giddy rush of escape that reading brings, and the freedom of a spirit let loose.
