Emily Dickinson: The Poet In Her Bedroom

"The Poet in Her Bedroom," a 32-minute program, is the first volume of the television series "Angles of a Landscape: Perspectives on Emily Dickinson," which explores little-known aspects of Dickinson's life and work. Now widely assigned to the first rank of American poets, Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) was unknown and mostly unpublished in her lifetime. Since her death well over a century ago, nearly 1,800 of her lyric poems have been discovered, published, and translated into dozens of languages. The poet never married and eventually confined herself to her father's house and grounds. Nonetheless Dickinson lived a rich and immensely productive creative life.

Lovely! It's clear that every woman writer needs a room of her own with a door she can close.

Nice home. No wonder Emily decided to spend the rest of her life there.

Fascinating individual and one of the few great women authors. One of the greatest old souls who ever lived.

@AZstarwatcher cliche and pretentious, how great.

@ColossusShade I looked at your profile. You're either mad you have to take Eng. lit. in college or you're just a troll. Anyways (from my upcoming Kindle book)...

A dream is a butterfly

Fresh from the cocoon

That is realized and soon

Flutters up into the sky

Or faltering, goes astray

Is suddenly killed

While young still

And fast fades away.

Emily is my inspiration. She LIVES.

I lived near Amherst, MA for over a decade. Passed The Homestead many, many times on Main Street. Her spirit still lives there... you can feel it, and in the town itself.

@JakeDonaghue Morse Code message coming in from Emily Dickinson sir! It says - dash dash dash dash dash dash dash. EngLit joke there. I'm ashamed to say I was at Amherst (class of 1994) and never went to this house. It was like literally next door. Shame on me!
