We are working on musical arrangements of There is no frigate like a book by Emily Dickinson and they will be published on a date yet to be decided.

There is no frigate like a book
  To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
  Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
  Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
  That bears a human soul!
