At this session we will be discussing the poetry of Emily Dickinson. Below is a link to the collection we'll plan to work from.

The Essential Emily Dickinson - ed. Oates

Below are 15 of her more important poems I'd like to cover, but her poems are fairly short and it's a pretty slim volume, so do plan to read the whole volume if possible.

Because I could not stop for Death (712)
"Hope" is the thing with feathers (254)
I'm Nobody! Who are you? (288)
There's a certain Slant of light (258)
I heard a Fly buzz—when I died (465)
Wild Nights - Wild Nights! (249)
My Life had stood - a Loaded Gun (754)
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain (280)
Success is counted sweetest (67)
A Bird, came down the Walk (328)
I taste a liquor never brewed (214)
Tell all the truth but tell it slant (1129)
Much Madness is divinest Sense (435)
As Imperceptibly as Grief (1540)
I died for Beauty—but was scarce (449)
