Welcome to my blog! Over the next few months, I will be blogging on Emily Dickinson. Some of these postings will be readings of the poems, some will be responses, some will be discussions of the influence of her poems on the way I see or understand things or even on the things I see or want to understand. It's not meant as an academic exercise, hence the title: "Living with Dickinson."
And, as you visit and comment, we can raise questions, disagree, converse and explore. What's your favorite Emily Dickinson poem? Why? What do you wish you knew about Dickinson? What do you wish you didn't know? Why do you read her poems?

I dwell in possibility
ReplyDeleteA fairer house than prose...
though, like you, I also like
Tell all the truth
But tell it slant
Success in circuit lies
My quotes may not be perfect (from memory)
One of the most true lines in all poetry:
Dying is all we know of Heaven
And all we need of Hell.
