Emily Dickinsons Poems: As She Preserved Them | Emily Dickinson, Cristanne Miller
39 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Cristanne Millers major edition of Dickinsons poems presents the 1,100 poems the poet retained during her lifetime, in the form she retained them. Dickinson took pains to copy these poems onto folded sheets in fair hand, arguably to preserve them for posterity. Included are Dickinsons alternate phrases and the editors notes and Introduction.

It‘s my favorite day of the month! @TheAromaofBooks has chosen our spins! My #bookspin is this month‘s buddy read with @StayCurious and my #doublespin is actually the same as last month‘s #doublespin! I always wonder if that will happen in the months I carry books over but I never really expected it to 🤣 Now that it has I think I‘m fine counting it for both months though since it‘s 800pgs and I‘m only about 20% of the way through…

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I think 800pgs is DEFINITELY worth two slots!! 😂 2y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I loved Crazy Rick Asians!! So over the top! 🤑 💰 2y
IndoorDame @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘m really looking forward to it! Thank you for sending it my way! ♥️ 2y

The Bobolink makes frequent appearances in Dickinson‘s poems. Not being a bird person I had to look them up to even be 💯sure this was a bird 😂😅. But the word is soooo fun to say!!! #WeirdWords @CBee

Aimeesue Adorable little floof! ❤️ 2y
AllDebooks Oh my, that's the cutest little bird with the best name 😍 2y
Susanita I went to a bird identification talk at the community center last week. The park ranger said that cuteness is definitely an identifying element. 2y

After comparing the first two fascicles it seems like there are major differences in punctuation, spelling, and line/stanza formatting, but only minor differences in word choice. For ease of reading and I‘m continuing on with just Miller‘s version right now, but I expect in the future it‘s not the one I‘ll pick up just for the sake reading these poems.

Next up. I got the Miller version almost a year ago, but haven‘t had time to do more than flip through it and I‘ve been wanting to do a comparative reading of these. I was fascinated when I first learned how heavily edited the wording of her poems had been by her posthumous editors, and I‘m so excited to see what insights this reading provides. The B&N edition I own doesn‘t have all the poems, but most, so I think it‘ll work fine to compare with.

dabbe Poetry DOES matter. One of the first items to go when the English standards in high school became a full book of things to do was poetry. If you didn't have time to fit one more thing in, most English teachers (at least in my department) let poetry go in favor of prose--and usually nonfiction prose, not literature. #suchashame 2y

#poetrymonth I love poetry, and this is the month to show them off. I love these 3 & love a good big book of collected works .

vivastory Three of my favorites. Howl was the poem that kicked off my love for poetry as a teen. 3y
Leftcoastzen @vivastory I‘d say I started investigating the WWI poets mostly because I was reading lost generation novels.Then I got to Howl & became obsessed with Hart Crane & so on!😀 3y
vivastory Hart Crane 💙 (I will definitely be including him this month in my daily poetry posts) 3y

Emily Dickinson has been one of my favorite poets since high school, but I only recently realized just HOW much other people edited her work after her death. I‘m excited about this volume by Christine Miller that preserves exactly what she wrote including her own edits (though thankfully retyped since the poets handwriting is completely illegible!) This month I‘m starting a side by side reading of it & my old standard B&N version. 👇🏼

IndoorDame I think it could provide valuable insights into the writing process. Both hers and my own. 3y

I‘m a day late and a dollar short for the September edition of #poetrymatters hosted by @LazyDays . The prompt for Day 1 was Favorite, and my selection is Because I could not stop for Death by Emily Dickinson. I love her uniqueness and her unconventional way with words. Her poetry seems timeless-it is as applicable today as it was when she wrote them. #poetry #emilydickinson

Lcsmcat One of my favorites! 6y

I wanted to let you know that I may be off Litsy for awhile. Today while I was at work I got a call from the coroner's office that no one wants to get. Although it was not entirely unexpected, it was very disturbing. My younger daughter and I had been estranged for a long time, but it doesn't make it any easier. My granddaughter, who I do see often, is taking it hard. I found this poem by Emily Dickinson and think it is appropriate.

Sharing this again as a reminder for poetry fans or those who are looking for a way to incorporate more poetry in their lives (like me). This is a challenge, but you don't have to sign up for anything. Think of it as more of a personal challenge to read poetry every day and then talk about it. Nothing fancy, just share your thoughts. Or share your own poetry if you would like. Just tag your posts #LitsyPoetry365 and tag me, too.

Lacythebookworm I didn't catch the original post, so thanks for the reminder! I think I could easily fit this into my morning routine! 🙌 8y

SharonGoforth @Alfoster Great!! I've been enjoying Mary Oliver's poetry, and am planning to read Rumi Kamur's Milk and Honey. You could try some contemporary anthologies such as The Best American Poetry series or any of the literary magazines (Ploughshares, Tin House, The Kenyon Review, as examples) for up and coming poets. This is a whole new area for me-so much to explore and learn! 8y

Reading at least one poem a day is one of my goals for 2017. I got to thinking that perhaps other Littens might be interested in doing this, too, so I've decided to make it a challenge! All you need to do is read one poem of your choice each day in 2017 and post about it on #Litsy, using the hashtag #LitsyPoetry365. Please tag me, @SharonGoforth , on your posts as well. Looking forward to reading and discovering poetry with you!
