Wild Nights is JC Oates' collection of stories on the final days of five American authors (Poe, Dickinson, Samuel Clemens, Henry James & Hemingway).

I love the concept of a bio that zeros in on an artist's favorite hobby.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was an American poet. Little-known during her life, she has since been regarded as one of the most important figures in American poetry.

Dickinson never married, and most of her friendships were based entirely upon correspondence.
