"It is the rich harvest of [Gilbert's] bookish habits that makes DEATH'S DOOR such a superb achievement. The reader gets not only an explication of Emily Dickinson's poetry, but a place in the little cortege, walking the poet's body in its white coffin across fields of flowers for burial....Gilbert's book instructs and inspires, ennobles and emboldens. Undertakers and anthropoogists, the reverend clergy and good doctors, hospice workers and the recently bereaved, poets and common readers of uncommon books are hereby encouraged to have a look."Gilbert, Sandra M. is the author of 'Death's Door Modern Dying and the Ways We Grieve', published 2007 under ISBN 9780393329698 and ISBN 0393329690.
