Emily Dickinson



Makoto Fujimura spoke about
Emily at the IAM Encounters
Conference in March. Her
hyphens..........and he said
he would write on her.
Here is the link to
Refractions 36: "The Hyphen
of the Sea"- A Journey with
Emily Dickinson, Part 1.


He writes:
The first chapter of this series of Refractions online will focus on Emily Dickinson's reading of Matthew six, in which Jesus addresses "consider the lilies."

Not related - but have you seen the fairly recent picture book My Uncle Emily? Beautiful pictures and some of her words... we enjoyed it.

Thank you for sharing that, Bonnie. I read MK's link you gave us...wow. I need him to teach me more about how to read a poem (I've never quite developed a love of poetry)...I'll visit his site again to continue his series on Emily.
