Essential Dickinson
Essential Dickinson | Emily Dickinson
20 posts | 8 read | 7 to read
From the introduction by Joyce Carol Oates: Between them, our great visionary poets of the American nineteenth century, Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman, have come to represent the extreme, idiosyncratic poles of the American psyche.... Dickinson never shied away from the great subjects of human suffering, loss, death, even madness, but her perspective was intensely private; like Rainer Maria Rilke and Gerard Manley Hopkins, she is the great poet of inwardness, of the indefinable region of the soul in which we are, in a sense, all alone.

Pickpick

📖 5-9-22 || ✔️ My poetry pick for this month. This is a small selection of Dickinson‘s “most necessary poems”.
Intro by Joyce Carol Oates: “Dickinson‘s perspective was intensely private; she‘s the great poet of inwardness, of that indefinable region of the soul in which we are, in a sense, all one.“

Back to work from my Book Shopping Vacation. I finally found poetry I love and understand in this book. I never really got into poetry or realized how delightfully morbid Emily Dickinson was. #tea #poetry

Kimberlone The Apple TV+ show Dickinson is also wonderfully morbid and absurd. I was surprised how much I liked it! 3y

I'm not a huge poetry person, but I've been trying to share a short poem with my children every couple of days. This one seems like it fits for Litsy, too.

TheSpineView Excellant! 💚 4y

PBS has this kids show called Peg + Cat who always solve problems using counting and math. #Zeek is watching while I‘m reading Kindred and I had to stop because they have an episode with Emily Dickinson! She is having trouble writing a poem so Peg and Cat are trying to help her and they are talking about poetry patterns. Check it out if you have kids, or like Emily, or cats, or well you get it! 😍😍😍. http://pbskids.org/peg/videos #raisingreaders

KatieCarpenter Oh for cute! 6y
KGlibrarian I love this! Can‘t wait to check it out—my kids are older but we‘re never too old for good PBS cartoons! 6y

I love Dickinson, and I can relate! I'm definitely a more private person, and I breathe a little easier in the solace of nature. My ramblings and attempts at profundity also sound rather odd to some people who try to understand me. So I've been told. But fun quiz!

#litsypoetry365 I really need this poem today. As we say farewell to POTUS 44, it's helps not to let go of the audacity to hope.
