I am slightly embarrassed for saying that I love Emily Dickinson's poetry. I feel you are probably saying, "You didn't know her poetry before?" No, I didn't. This class offered me a chance to see just who I like and who I do not.
I just read 348 by Emily Dickinson. It was required for next class, but I found myself continuing to turn the pages to find more of her work. It’s great. She has an imagination that creates so many pictures for the reader. Who would thing to say, “I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,” from 340 or 202 is a little humorous:
“Faith is a fine invention
For Gentlemen who see!
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency!
I am interested in her. Why the numbers for titles? Why the capital letters in some random words throughout her poems? I assume these are not random choices. She is a unique poet and I like that.
