Emily Dickinson

[silverseason]

You should come to Massachusetts. The town Mr Mehastings works for is the center of the Emily Dickinson universe. She lived here, she's burried here, the bookstore sells ugly dolls that "look" like her (yes, the kid has one). I've always wanted to go visit the Emily Dickinson House, but I've never gotten around to it.

Me too. I've been in Amherst several times, but never made the tour. Still, even seeing the house from outside gives you a idea of the family's status. I also got a virtual tour of the house by reading Emily Dickinson Is Dead by Jane Langdon (Langden?), a mystery set in Amherst and involving a conference of Dickinson scholars.

Emily

She had her own drama between her man, and her boss. It all speaks of it in the 5th Edition of American poetry. Not Emily!
