Readings of Emily Dickinson's poetry:


There's something quieter than sleep

blazing in gold and quenching in purple

There's been a death in the opposite house

There's a certain slant of light

I felt a funeral in my brain

Hope is the thing with feathers

This is my letter to the world

i heard a fly buzz when i died

Two butterflies went out at noon

Publication - is the auction

Because I could not stop for death

My life has stood - a loaded gun

From blank to blank

A narrow fellow in the grass

Like rain it sounded

the saddest noise, the sweetest noise
