do you like poetry by Emily Dickinson?
actually the only thing i know about her is that she was a poet in the 1800s
I am not really a big poetry fan either but I do know that emily dickinson was known for being a bit of an eccentric by the local people she lived by b/c she always wore white clothing
i also know that there is a emily dickinson museum that is a historic house, her homestead and the evergreens
she apparently was a bit of recluse.  she rarely left her bedroom and would almost never leave her house in  her later years
i wonder if that had something to do with her attending a female seminary in her youth
It might have and I read that although she wrote around 1800 poems actually fewer than a dozen were actually ever published

There is a good deal about the Tuckermans in Emily's letters; but—though Greenfield is not far from Amherst — there is no mention of Frederick Goddard. Did Emily know that the father of her friend, almost as much a recluse as herself, was writing remarkable poetry? Had Tuckerman ever been told that Emily Dickinson wrote? Colonel
