This course can serve either as a continuation for members of the Fall 2020 class or as an introduction for new members to Emily Dickinson's extraordinary body of work. She wrote close to 1,800 poems -- almost all are worth our while and only a few from the earlier course will be repeated. By turns humorous, philosophical, or incandescently personal and emotional, her verses offer a cornucopia of close observations that are startling in their original content and formal ingenuity.
