    I love that Emily wrote for herself and that was enough. Inspiring.

    This was so nice to watch-what a dream to read her poetry in Emily’s backyard!

    I just returned from a 3 day stay at the Amherst Inn right across the street from Emily’s house. Our room overlooked her house but because of covid we couldn’t go in. Your video is just what I needed to hold me over until I can visit again when the museums are open.

    Oh! A great occasion for you! Thanks for sharing. I haven’t memorized any but i studied her in college and did a paper on the poem “A Slant of Light”. What a terrific very large house! Beautiful city, beautiful genius. Multi talented poet. Emily was a courageous spirit. Not afraid to speak her mind or write the way she wanted and about what she wanted. There was joy in her life and she went through some very serious health problems and still expressed her feelings and events through writing.

    For a new perspective on Emily, I highly recommend the book Open Me Carefully by Emily Dickinson scholar, professor and editor/writer Martha Neil Smith.

    “From the wounded soul, comes poetry and music. In return, music and poetry heals the soul.🎶
    I came across this quote in a hauntingly beautiful poetry book, “12:12 Midnight”
    by Danielle Ever Rose
    It was a great read.

    I agree. She is definitely not only dark - she moves freely between all her feelings. Some of her poems offer so much hope and beauty.

    A few of her poems were published during her lifetime. Over 20 years ago I attended a meeting between a few authors etc. re: cleaning out the Evergreen's house to file papers, furniture, person items etc..for a future museum. I could not attend and now I kick myself for not being able to help.

    There is a fact that intrigues me,
    Is the white dress that hangs in Emily's room, is it the same dress that she wore,
    I mean, it's not a replica?

    My dear, dear Emma. Your vlogs are so refreshing. Your vlogs encompasses anything Disney and literature. One of my favorite Dickinson lines is, "The soul should always stay ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience" Continue reading and writing. (great readers usually write, so I'm assuming you are a wonderful writer as well) Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. :)

    Emily Dickinson looks so somber in her portrait, but she comes across as anything but somber in some of her poetry.

    Been looking forward to this! What a beautiful home and life ❤ I'll definitely have to read more Dickinson. Back in school I always got Emily Dickinson and Emily Bronte mixed up because they both had so many gloomy, death poems lol. Of course back in their eras death was commonplace for younger people so I can understand why they seemed a bit obsessed by it. As always, a lovely vlog with unique content ❤❤

    Surgery was quite rudimentary in Emily's day, and there were no antibiotics, so I can't begin to imagine how risky eye surgery would have been then.

    So glad you enjoyed Amherst! My boyfriend’s brother actually got to participate in a summer-long archaeological dig in her yard while he was studying Archaeology at UMass Amherst. They found part of an old smoking pipe, buttons and parts of dishes! They host this dig every summer and are trying to recreate Emily’s original garden, as well! He also got to explore the attics of both houses and got to see so many amazing antiques! The last time I toured, they showed us a book of pressed flowers with identifications that Emily made - apparently this was incredibly common during the time and it would actually be competitive to see who could find identify and collect the most plants! I currently live in Amherst and I love passing by Emily’s house on a daily basis. I find her brother’s house fascinating - especially the story about the last resident who lived there alone for so many years! If you’re ever in the Amherst area again, you’ve got to check out the Black Sheep - they have the most delicious pastries, (It’s a two minute walk from Emily’s house)! ✨

    Does anyone know that Emily's family lived on Pleasant St... before moving to this house. The house overlooked the cemetery where she later was buried. The house lot became a gas station after the house was torn down... Sad...

    I don't know if this is appropriate or not, but I wrote a poem about my thoughts and the way I've been feeling lately, and I wonder if this is a good place to post it. Anyway, thank you, Emily Dickinson.
    title: "just another day"
    with everything going on,
    my life is back to normal
    it's just another day
    i can't tell
    if this is a testament
    to human resilience
    or the desire
    for blissful ignorance
    it's easier to look away
    but it's wrong
    yet i have no strength to fight
    i am so tired
    i fight the demons in my mind
    my pain and trauma
    every day
    i don't have enough strength
    for anything else at the moment
    they say
    the way to fight
    is to speak
    say your words
    lift up your voice
    sometimes,
    i feel i must scream
    but when i open my mouth,
    i have no voice
    no noise escapes
    no sound is heard
    if i speak,
    would i be heard?
    in this world
    where everyone is speaking
    and no one is listening
    just a constant flow
    a cacophony
    of words
    of voices
    of consciousness
    all trying to talk over each other
    gets so jumbled in my head
    i can't hear
    can't think
    can't breathe
    it's too much
    EVERYBODY JUST STOP
    i shut it off
    shut them out
    and breathe
    i take a moment
    though it often overwhelms me,
    part of my brain
    misses the noise
    the quiet is so subtle,
    yet so unsettling
    eventually my mind calms
    and i feel
    a tiny corner of peace
    after a time
    when i have taken my rest
    i return to the world
    and its glorious clamor
    the magnificent chaos
    the wild splendor
    of humanity
    and i notice a pattern
    each talks over the other
    each vying
    for the praise
    the attention
    the platform
    to be seen
    heard
    known
    understood
    the desperate attempt
    for validation
    to make your mark
    and not be forgotten
    it's something
    i recognize in myself
    though i cannot do much,
    for a moment
    i look
    i listen
    i learn
    i understand
    i praise
    i attend
    i validate
    because it is necessary
    it is what they need
    and i am happy
    to be there for them
    then i come back to myself
    and ask
    would they be there for me too?
    if i speak,
    will anybody hear me?
    will anybody hear me?
