Emily Dickinson biography becomes graphic novel by Liuba Gabriele
Illustrator and cartoonist Liuba Gabriele has released a new graphic novel dedicated to the life of American poet Emily Dickinson, published by BeccoGiallo. The 144-page book traces Dickinson's artistic rise and key moments of her human experience, focusing on her passion for poetry, love of nature, and choice of isolation as a practice of freedom. Gabriele stated she felt points of contact with Dickinson, including a shared devotion to writing and nature. The graphic novel uses a poetic language to tell the story of the 19th-century poet who came from a bourgeois American family and chose to consecrate herself to thought and words, imposing self-isolation in her father's house. The book is part of BeccoGiallo's specialization in biographical comics.
