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
maybe because she was a women she was met with resistance, especially there have been many book burnings throughout history
You never know.  That could be true.  Maybe they didn't  like her style and judged her way of living or something
Book burning
Book burning is the ritual destruction by fire of books or other written materials, usually carried out in a public context. The burning of books represents an element of censorship and usually proceeds from a cultural, religious, or political opposition to the materials in question.
In some cases, the destroyed works are irreplaceable and their burning constitutes a severe loss to cultural heritage. Examples include the burning of books and burying of scholars under China's Qin Dynasty (213–210 BCE), the burning of the Library of
quite overheard. It is interesting that Emily Dickinson should have known Frederick's brother Edward, who taught botany at Amherst College, and also Tuckerman's son and his son's wife. 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
