Hello, Miss Dickinson

The Complete Poems - Emily Dickinson, Thomas H. Johnson

I read "The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson," as edited by Thomas H. Johnson, from cover to cover when I was an undergraduate. In the subsequent years, I've dipped in and out from time to time, as the spirit moved me.

 

Since the beginning of 2016, I have been reading it straight through, again. This time, I read each poem aloud at least once - an experience everyone should have, I believe. I finished earlier this month.

 

I have no deep insights to offer at this time. Basically, just bragging.
