Hi Linda,

Welcome to Suite101.

Emily Dickinson is such an intriguing poet. I admire how her subtle humor often tempers her darker musings.

Looking forward to reading more of your columns!

» flower51 - Linda Grimes on Emily Dickinson

Hello-
I'm a new poet here and I just read the analysis of Dickinson's poem. I'm fascinated by how pain operates in her work- how she is at once victim & minister to the way it eats a person up. How she could find the exact nuance in a specific kind of pain & lay it out there for us without ever revealing the cause-or her private catalysts!Those exteme psychic states are also interesting in what they do to the concept of time, up-ending and eradicating it. Well, that's my two cents-compliments to you, Linda.

Hi, Cheryl--
Thanks for your response. Dickinson was master at communicating to us how we feel. I always say she gives us back our experiences. Those that we felt but let go, we meet them again in Dickinson--actually, in all great poetry.

I'm interested in reading this poem about suffering without saying what caused the suffering, whether the pain is primarily physical or emotional. The cold imagery of pain.
