I was...Oh, Bethany, thank you, and I am delighted. I was taking my folks an extra copy of the journal--though my mom will also receive a subscriber copy--and my dad jumped right into it. "This is a great issue!" he said, seeing all the GREAT POEMS in it, and the commentaries by contemporary poets who love these particular poems for particular reasons! So this is now my dad's personal copy.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559881249054540947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-7492071847828638322012-07-20T10:28:19.948-05:002012-07-20T10:28:19.948-05:00I loved this post -- I'm a huge Dickinson fan ...I loved this post -- I'm a huge Dickinson fan and becoming quite a fan of yours, as well.

I hadn't seen the little tiny girl for awhile so didn't expect her to recognize me, but when I walked up to them, she turned and gave me this big smile and immediately included me in their games. It wasn't that it was me, it was the kind of smile she would have turned on any stranger to say "I'm so glad you're here." Dissolved a lot of anger on the spot, let me tell you.<br /><br />I am grateful for Emily Dickinson's poetry, but I do wish she had had a few more fine witnesses in her own life.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.com
