23. Susan Howe's "My Emily Dickinson" (excerpt) http://www.english.upenn.edu/~afilreis/88/my-emily.html

Susan Howe, My Emily Dickinson (excerpts) Emily Dickinson once wrote to Thomas Wentworth Higginson; "Candormy Preceptoris the only wile." This is the right way to put it. In his Introduction to In the American Grain [1925], William Carlos Williams said he had tried to rename things seen. I regret the false configurationunder the old misappellationof Emily Dickinson. But I love his book. The ambiguous paths of kinship pull me in opposite ways at once. As a poet I feel closer to Williams' writing about writing, even when he goes haywire in "Jacataqua," than I do to most critical studies of Dickinson's work by professional scholars. When Williams writes: "Never a woman, never a poet.... Never a poet saw sun here," I think that he says one thing and means another. A poet is never just a woman or a man. Every poet is salted with fire. A poet is a mirror, a transcriber. Here "we have salt in ourselves and peace one with the other." When Thoreau wrote his Introduction to A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers , he ended by remembering how he had often stood on the banks of the Musketaquid, or Grass-ground River English settlers had re-named Concord. The Concord's current followed the same law in a system of time and all that is known. He liked to watch this current that was for him an emblem of all progress. Weeds under the surface bent gently downstream shaken by watery wind. Chips, sticks, logs, and even tree stems drifted past. There came a day at the end of the summer or the beginning of autumn, when he resolved to launch a boat from shore and let the river carry him.

25. Emily Dickinson's Letters - 1891.10 Atlantic Unbound The Atlantic Monthly Magazine Online http://www.theatlantic.com/atlantic/atlweb/poetry/emilyd/edletter.htm

October 1891 Emily Dickinson's Letters by Thomas Wentworth Higginson F ew events in American literary history have been more curious than the sudden rise of Emily Dickinson into a posthumous fame only more accentuated by the utterly recluse character of her life and by her aversion to even a literary publicity. The lines which form a prelude to the published volume of her poems are the only ones that have come to light indicating even a temporary desire to come in contact with the great world of readers; she seems to have had no reference, in all the rest, to anything but her own thought and a few friends. But for her only sister it is very doubtful if her poems would ever have been printed at all; and when published, they were launched quietly and without any expectation of a wide audience; yet the outcome of it is that six editions of the volume have been sold within six months, a suddenness of success almost without a parallel in American literature. One result of this glare of publicity has been a constant and earnest demand by her readers for further information in regard to her; and I have decided with much reluctance to give some extracts from her early correspondence with one whom she always persisted in regardingwith very little ground for itas a literary counselor and confidant. It seems to be the opinion of those who have examined her accessible correspondence most widely, that no other letters bring us quite so intimately near to the peculiar quality and aroma of her nature; and it has been urged upon me very strongly that her readers have the right to know something more of this gifted and most interesting woman.

Add to a Notebook Emily Dickinson Emily Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1830. She attended Mount Holyoke Female Seminary in South Hadley but severe homesickness led her to return home after one year. In the years that followed, she seldom left her house and visitors were scarce. The people with whom she did come in contact, however, had an intense impact on her thoughts and poetry. She was particularly stirred by the Reverend Charles Wadsworth, whom she met on a trip to Philadelphia. He left for the West Coast shortly after a visit to her home in 1860, and his departure gave rise to a heartsick flow of verse from Dickinson, who deeply admired him. By the 1860s, she lived in almost total physical isolation from the outside world, but actively maintained many correspondences and read widely. Her poetry reflects her loneliness and the speakers of her poems generally live in a state of want; but her poems are also marked by the intimate recollection of inspirational moments which are decidedly life-giving and suggest the possibility of future happiness. Her work was heavily influenced by the Metaphysical poets of seventeenth-century England, as well as by her Puritan upbringing and the Book of Revelation. She admired the poetry of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning and John Keats . Though she was dissuaded from reading the verse of her contemporary Walt Whitman by rumor of its disgracefulness, the two poets are now connected by the distinguished place they hold as the founders of a uniquely American poetic voice. Dickinson was extremely prolific as a poet and regularly enclosed poems in letters to friends, but she was not publicly recognized during her lifetime. The first volume of her work was published posthumously in 1890 and the last in 1955. She died in Amherst in 1886.

35. Unsung Songs John Koopman's Unsung Songs features an analysis of the pieces, comparing them somewhat with Copland's treatment of the poet's work and also evaluating them on their own. http://www.lawrence.edu/fac/koopmajo/persichetti.html

UNSUNG SONGS Emily Dickinson Songs, Opus 77, by Vincent Persichetti (1915-1985) Author Vivian Perlis has written of Aaron Copland's marvelous settings of Twelve Poems by Emily Dickinson , 'The songs are unusual in style with irregular meters and stanzas, wide jumps in the vocal lines, and difficult passages for the pianist that present special challenges...not an immediately accessible style.' I am a great admirer of these songs and would not disparage them in any way. But I must agree with Perlis's description and would also observe that Copland generally seemed drawn to the dramatic potential of Dickinson's verses. Vincent Persichetti's approach was somewhat different. His sensibilities favored the gentle lyricism and deeply contemplative elements of Dickinson's poetry, and his delicate and introspective musical settings mirrored this. When Persichetti composed his Opus 77, in 1958, he created four superb musical settings of the quintessential American poet, and it is impossible to imagine a more approachable and useful set of teaching songs for undergraduate students. These are at once likable and substantive songs that have been fashioned with minimal vocal requirements, high poetic qualities and limited accompaniment demands. The set includes a range of moods; the quiet wonderment of

reckless g enius A PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING POET PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE BELLE OF AMHERST Selected Poetry BY EMILY DICKINSON JOIN THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE SALON CLASSICS BOOK GROUP CHECK THE SCHEDULE COMING SOON: Elizabeth McCracken's BOOK GROUP ON GREAT EXPECTATIONS BY GALWAY KINNELL E mily Dickinson wrote about the kinds of experience few poets have the daring to explore or the genius to sing. She is one of the most intelligent of poets and also one of the most fearless. If the fearlessness ran out, she had her courage, and after that her heart-stopping recklessness. More fully than most poets, Dickinson tells how it is to be a human being in a particular moment, in compressed, hard, blazingly vivid poems which have duende! Her greatest seem not sung but forced into being by a craving for a kind of forbidden knowledge of the unknowable. Similar figures today think she cannot be considered a major poet because she writes tiny poems. Of course there is nothing inherently minor in smallish poems, and in any case, many of Dickinson's poems are little because she omits the warming-up, preface and situation and begins where a more discursive poet might be preparing to end. Relative to their small surface, her poems have large inner bulk. And since her themes obsessively reappear, a group of the poems, when read together, sweeps one along inside another's consciousness much as a long poem does. In my opinion, she could not have accomplished her great work without making two technical innovations.
