The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson

reflective

4.0

I am hardly what one might call a poetic critic. I really can't recognize good poetry from bad by any stretch of the imagination.  I can recognize poems I like (though they tend to be few and far between). 

That being said, I generally enjoyed this. A lot of these poems were kind of 'meh' for me. But I also really enjoyed quite  a few of them.  And, of course, Emily Dickinson has written one of my all-time favourite poems: 

Wild nights! Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile the winds
To a heart in port,--
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart.

Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!
Might I but moor
To-night in thee!
