Dicksinson's Poems

Emily Dickinson is one of America's greatest and most original poets of all time. She took definition as her province and challenged the existing definitions of poetry and the poet's work.

Her poems are often forceful, fragmented, and dense, with words that seem to be missing - swallowed up by a dash, like a breath caught in the throat. But they also lend themselves beautifully to music, with their hymn-like rhythms. And their striking imagery and keen psychological insight can't help but needle their way into your memory.

Well.. after watching The Dickinson's Series, it makes me more interested in her poems or even poems in general. Using terms that are difficult to understand, thus requiring us to be able to interpret the meaning of the poem.
