Jerome Charyn: A Loaded Gun (USA 2016) From the Publisher: My Life had stood -- a Loaded Gun -- Through interviews with contemporary scholars, close readings of Dickinson's correspondence and handwritten manuscripts, and a suggestive, newly discovered photograph that is purported to show Dickinson with her lover, Charyn's literary sleuthing reveals the great poet in ways that have only been hinted at previously: as a woman who was deeply philosophical, intensely engaged with the world, attracted to members of both sexes, and able to write poetry that disturbs and delights us today. Jerome Charyn: A Loaded Gun. Emily Dickinson for the 21st Century. Bellevue Literary Press, ISBN: 9781934137987 (March, 2016), 255 p., $19.95, eBook $.19.99.
