LOL I enjoy that poem, too. It was hard to choose just a few to include in this post.<br /><br />Darlene: Thanks!<br /><br />Nymeth: I hope you get a chance to read her poetry. I'd love to know what you think.<br /><br />bermudaonion: Thanks! I read more poetry back in college. But I do enjoy learning about new poets.<br /><br />Staci: I hope you get a chance to look at the book before National Poetry Month ends. I'd love to hear your thoughts.<br /><br />Iliana: I saw that! I guess great minds think alike. LOL<br /><br />Carrie: I'm curious which ones you do like. I can't say I like every one of her poems, but I think it's very few that I don't like.<br /><br />Naida: Thanks for sharing! I like those others you mentioned, too.<br /><br />rhapsodyinbooks: I should have included that one! My bad.<br /><br />Suko: Thanks for sharing! I love how she says so much in so few words.<br /><br />Hannah: Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />Lenore: Thanks!<br /><br />Christina: I'm not much of a Dickens fan, so there's not much chance of me confusing them. LOL<br /><br />Sullivan McPig: Thanks for stopping by! I'll have to check out Wilde and Bloem.<br /><br />Ginny/Book Publishers: Thanks!<br /><br />Care: :)<br /><br />Susan: Thanks, hon!<br /><br />Janel: Her story has always fascinated me.

Hope you had a wonderful Easter yourself.<br /><br />Valerie: That's how I see it, too. I'll have to check out the DailyLit e-mails. Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />OnlinePublicist: I'm looking forward to your interview with Serena!<br /><br />Amy: That's another good one! You can see why I had so much trouble choosing only a few. Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />carolsnotebook: It is best read aloud...but I'd just start reading aloud in the living room and the family would just have to deal with it. LOL<br /><br />Jeanne: Oh, I'd love to see that. I enjoy that poem as well.<br /><br />bookmagic: I'm glad to hear that, of course. :)<br /><br />Dawn: It would be great to plan a book blogger trip. That would be so much fun!<br /><br />Tea: I totally agree.

I think the isolation by the cemetery always gets them!<br /><br />Funny thing, though. When I was little, I used to confuse Charles Dickens & Emily Dickinson. Not what they wrote or their role in literature, but I would always get their names intermixed: Charles Dickinson and Emily Dickens. :)christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749333368560606659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-87343224216033986952010-04-03T12:09:14.304-04:002010-04-03T12:09:14.304-04:00Of course you may always link to my reviews - than...Of course you may always link to my reviews - thanks :)Lenore Appelhanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664671644163369772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-5908339984157118072010-04-03T04:03:39.909-04:002010-04-03T04:03:39.909-04:00I love Emily Dickenson - thank you for sharing suc...I love Emily Dickenson - thank you for sharing such an interesting post<br /><br />hannahHannah Stonehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139146341592918233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-81684385421676459562010-04-03T01:42:18.074-04:002010-04-03T01:42:18.074-04:00I am not good at understanding poetry, but like yo...I am not good at understanding poetry, but like you, I do "get" Emily Dickinson's work, at least at some level. <br /><br />Here's a short poem by Emily Dickinson:<br /><br /><i>A word is dead<br />When it is said<br />Some say.<br /><br />I say it just<br />Begins to live<br />That day.</i>Sukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893742747135555499noreply@blogger.com
