I am inordinately excited to have written something in earnest about the lyric poems of Emily Dickinson. And lucky for a year or two to have been able to sit with them, incredible Nothings full of everything.
Like me and you, Dickinson was Nobody too. My essay on identity in her poems comes out in the new series Oxford Studies in Philosophy and Literature.
Thank you to Elisabeth Camp, this volume’s editor, for bringing together this inspiring group of essays and for valuable feedback throughout.
