The "Lady in White" remains an enigma to this day. She refused to publish her poetry and spent her final years in her room, a voluntary seclusion. Over time, she has become one of the most important figures in literature. If, as she wrote, water is learned through thirst and birds through snow, perhaps Emily Dickinson can be learned through the sea and cities. Dominique Fortier revisits her books, her garden, and her ghosts, and imagines moments in Emily's life based on the places where the poet lived: Amherst, Boston, Mount Holyoke, Homestead. Paper Cities, a beautiful meditation on freedom, the power of creation, the places and houses we inhabit and which in turn inhabit us, is Fortier's first work to appear in Spanish.
