abbyknud 's review for:
The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson
by Emily Dickinson
I’m not much of a poetry person, but I’ve always loved Emily Dickinson (at least the few poems of hers that I knew). Watching Dickinson only made me more curious about her, so I wanted to read more of her work for myself.
I found that I love her brain imagery and death personification and thoughts on faith and God. I love that she contradicts herself and doesn’t always draw conclusions. I love that she can write poems and poems about the smallest things like the sun and bees. I love the way she uses punctuation on her own terms to shape her words and meanings.
Maybe this is too reductive, but my conclusion is that I think Emily Dickinson is cool. Very very cool. I want her to be my friend or at least my hypothetical dinner guest. She was ahead of her time!! I want to pick her brain about everything (and ask her about the mysteries of her life...).
I definitely recommend her poems, especially to anyone who might not usually choose to read poetry.
