Emily Dickinson composed her poem “#254” at some point in the mid-1880s. It began:

Norman Prentiss has written “The Thing With Feathers” inspired in part by the Dickinson poem, but also by the poignant story of two people: a young man possessing a terrible desire, and a young woman equally obsessed with a terrible fear.

"The Thing With Feathers" is published in an edition of 150 numbered copies with actual feather laid loosely in each copy. In special printed envelope.
