description: Taking American poet Dickinson (1830-86) as a serious religious poet, Tripp (English, U. of Denver) places her squarely in the tradition of Transcendentalism and the larger sphere of what has been called the perennial philosophy. Among the matters he delves into are reading a perennial poet, poetry and biography, mysticism, the knot of duty, synonyms for epiphany, transcendental semantics and grammar, and linguistic metanoia. The text is double spaced. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
