Daniela Gioseffi is an American Book Award winning author of eighteen books of prose and poetry, and a retired professor of American and world literature, as well as creative writing. Early in her career, she was a featured scholar on a documentary devoted to the poetry of Emily Dickinson produced by Pacifica Radio, New York, 1978. In 2010, she published an historical, biographical novel titled, "WILD NIGHTS! WILD NIGHTS!" THE STORY OF EMILY DICKINSON'S MASTER: "NEIGHBOR AND FRIEND AND BRIDEGROOM..." with Plainview Press, Austin, TX. The novel is based Gioseffi's non-fiction essay published in The Chelsea Literary Review, Spring 2007, titled EMILY DICKINSON: LOVER OF SCIENCE AND SCIENTIST IN DARK DAYS OF THE REPUBLIC. The non-fiction essay with bib. and notes, became the foreword to her latest version of the re-edited novel, title THE STORY OF EMILY DICKINSON"S "MASTER," published in 2013 as an e-book available at www.Amazon.com, www.BarnesandNobel.com, Baker & Taylor,etc.online distributors. Barbara Kelly of THE EMILY DICKINSON INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY BULLETIN, Nov/Dec 2010 wrote: “A page turning tale of a bitter sweet love affair (1857-1865) …Gioseffi,a compelling storyteller, cleverly incorporates Dickinson’s poems, capturing the intellectual, cultural, and political ideas and voices of the 19th century, from the stern Calvinist voices of Mary Lyon and the Reverend Aron Colton to the domestic Irish lilt of Margaret Maher, …. Gioseffi helpfully advises Dickinson scholar’s to read her non-fiction foreword first. The novel is alive with detail and heartfelt emotion….Gioseffi introduces a Dickinson most readers have not met before.” And, a Dickinson who sheds the myths of her as a virgin recluse, a character more befitting of her youthful society and lively spirit when she was a belle of Amherst and quite sociable. ED's reclusiveness does not occur until her thirties due to grief and real losses that are well documented by fact.
Gioseffi also discusses how she came to write the non-fiction essay and the book based upon it in an interview with Angelina Oberdan of Clemson University,NC, titled EMILY AND ME: UNDOING THE MYTHOLOGY SURROUNDING AMERICA'S MOST ICONIC WOMAN POET: online at Sugar Mule, An E-zine: www.sugarmule.com/23-2.html
