Synopsis

Because I could not stop for Death-
He kindly stopped for me-
The carriage held but just ourselves-
And Immortality.

The series is aimed at the general reader rather than the specialist and carries no critical or explanatory apparatus. This can be found elsewhere. In the series the poems introduce themselves, on an uncluttered page and in a format that is both attractive and convenient.
