This was a truly great and special, if too brief, experience for me. I had never read ED. Her poems are short, their meanings slightly hidden, their power in a lingering aspect that takes some time to pick up on.

So my reading experience was very much about adapting, and learning. Also gained a lot from The Prowling Bee, a blog on Dickinson. Highly recommended: bloggingdickinson.blogspot.com

TheBookHippie I‘ve read her every day for 40 years🤣✍🏻🤷🏻‍♀️♥️ 2w
jewright She‘s my favorite American poet. 2w

I‘m not the biggest fan of poetry, but Emily Dickinson is among the few poets I read. Her poetry is #perfect for me - seemingly dark, yet there is a lightness that shines through the words. Years ago, I visited her house in Amherst, Massachusetts, and it was such a wonderful experience! I think I became a fan after the visit.

I looked quickly for a poem that cites perfection, but didn‘t find one in my haste. Love this cover! #ayupaugust

erzascarletbookgasm What a pretty cover! 5y
Crinoline_Laphroaig She's been favorite of mine as well, since as a teenager I read: 'There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away.' 5y
squirrelbrain I agree with @erzascarletbookgasm - it‘s a gorgeous cover! ♥️ 5y

In just the dress his century wore;
A privilege, I think”

I had to coordinate a birthday party for Emily Dickinson for work, and this cake I ordered from a local bakery was outstanding! This picture doesn't do it justice! There are little snowflake sprinkles, and sparkles scattered on the pinecones and around the pine leaves that makes it look like freshly fallen snow. Tremendous detail, and Emily Dickinson would've loved this cake. People were afraid to cut the cake because it was so beautiful.

sprainedbrain That is awesome! 7y

This is the first thing that pops into my head when I hear #death

This is one of my favourite Emily Dickinson poems. There has always been something about it that I can never explain.

LibrarianRyan My fave Emily as well. I quote it frequently. 7y
WarpedSweetness @LibrarianRyan Me too! An old high school friend did a needlepoint (I think it is called needlepoint?) of this part of the poem and framed it for me as a birthday gift one year. 7y

I've been absent from Litsy for about two weeks, and I'm trying to get back to posting soon. My sister unexpectedly passed away, and I'm still looking for the peace of mind I need to get back to reading for pleasure and prepping for the new school year. Any thoughts and prayers you have to spare would be so appreciated 💕 This sassy little cat has definitely been a big help 🐱as well as this poetry collection.

Pretty cover for some of Dickinson's more memorable poems. I really came to know Dickinson several years ago on my first solo vacation - no family, no friends, just myself. I chose Amherst, home of the Dickinsons, and really got to know Emily. I hadn't read much of her poetry before, but came to quickly appreciate the beauty and sadness of every line. I visited her grave site and enjoyed quiet reflections. She's worth getting to know. #35bookparty

Found an awesome place to chill tonight & get away from social media while connecting with my town in person. If you find yourself in South Jersey, check out Abandoned Luncheonette. Run by a rock & roll local family, this place calls itself a "nosh & shop" spot, as part record shop/part cafe/part 2nd hand vintage store. I picked up this pocket Dickinson, drank tea, & chatted with the owners until closing. This place is good for my soul. ?

beaniebankbeth Of course, Bianca wanted to play while I was trying to take the photo. She was enjoying sniffing the book a moment before. #petsoflitsy 8y
