Dickinson: Poems by Emily Dickinson
5.0
pretty sure Emily Dickinson just gave me an uppercut punch to me my soul with her poetry. how lovely of an experience it was to read! her rhythm, her rhyme, her lyrically written beauty is all splendid and I think I’m in love with every word that lie in this collection...
i am keeping this book close to me at all times because this poet is being kept close to my heart. it’s just so amazing how she personifies many elements like death. she acts like it is a living being rather than a natural occurrence and she does it with stride. In one poem she wrote-
Today or this noon
she dwelt so close
I almost touched her—
tonight she lies
past neighborhood
and bough and steeple,
now passed surmise.
I love how she acts in a majority of her poems about death or resurrection as if they were actual personified things. another thing was how she wrote poetry about words and poetry. all of them were simply divine but here’s just another one of my quick favorites...
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.
She also personifies here, but even in her poems that live to tell the tell about poetry and writing without personification, are just as beautifully written.
