Cynthia Wolff's Emily Dickinson is very good on many poems. I really like two books by Judith Farr: The Gardens of Emily Dickinson and The Passion of emily Dickinson. But a lot of Dickinson's poems don't have much written about them -- at least not that I have on my shelf or in the Google. <br /><br />If you don't have Sewall's Life of emily Dickinson, it would be a great book to have -- and he discusses quite a few poems, too.

I should work on this, I thought. Hey -- I'll blog it!

I happened upon your blog as I tried to puzzle out some of the more opaque poems. Thank you so much for posting this, and continuing to post! I love checking in with "the Bee" each morning!Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00029592349223533232noreply@blogger.com
