Emily Dickinson

I watched Cynthia Nixon play Emily in A Quiet Passion.  Of course, I've heard about Dickinson my whole life but I don't think I've actually read a poem.  I'm a newbie to poetry.  I'm still trying to figure out all that it means.  Still, I'm impressed.  Emily Dickinson sure was an interesting person a spinster, a reclusive woman who hid her talents from the world.  I think she would be satisfied that she became a legendary poet.  There are many subjects that Emily writes about - nature, death, love, and religion.  I haven't read the whole thing but plan to.  I'm going by little by little.  I recommend this website to get all that her poems mean - http://bloggingdickinson.blogspot.com/.
