My daughter wanted a book of poetry by Emily Dickinson for Christmas.
Emily Dickenson is one of my favorits. I cannot say how many times I have read her stuff.
Emily Dickinson was born in Amherst, MASS, and lived in the mid to late 1800's
She was quite a woman, and I look up to her in my life for being who she was.
She was a hermit who lived by herself and wrote poetry.  The best art comes from pain, apparently.
I can see where that may be true. She battled through and eventually her works make a mark on the world
She wore white dresses like a ghost and refused to leave her bedroom.
If it were not for that would her work have been so impactful?
