I read an autobiography called 'Life is a loaded gun.' It touched on her long hours of writing, and her envelope poems she wrote. She used anything as paper and used letter envelope backs and closures. I recommend getting the envelope poems. You will not be disappointed.

An amazing and tremendously deep person who lived in a prison, in part at least, of her own making. As such, she couldn't experience the wider world. Instead, she had to imagine it, much like the memory maker from Blade Runner, she understood "anything real is a mess." Luckily, her brilliant mind, keen imagination, and powerful emotions were so strong, she had to write them down. If I could meet and converse with any woman from before my time, there would be no hesitation. Thank you Emily, for giving us.... you.

I fully believe I’m a reincarnation of Emily. We have the same personality type, same height, both enjoyed the same food, wrote poetry, both reclusive. I have the same heart condition she had, her brothers name was Austin and that’s the name of my lifelong friend. Her love interest was supposedly Sue, which is the name of my grandma. For years I’ve had dreams of living in the 1800s and I’ve always been drawn to it.

Thanks for this, as it explained a lot to me. I always thought of Emily as some kind of Puritan Recluse. Now that you mention a one big word about her- EPILEPSY that, that has explained a lot. I have the same, write songs & like to be left alone. Now I Can really understand why most of her writings were pretty much depressing & why she wanted them destroyed after her passing. Now I get it. Thanks...

My great-grandmother (my dad's maternal grandmother) led that side of the family to believe that Stephen Foster was one of our ancestors, and that's what I grew up believing. About ten years ago, my dad did his own research, and found out that was not true. However, my dad did find out that Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost are two of our distant cousins, which explains my love for writing stories.

I tend to think she didn't want to publish more poems- it's a sad situation for most all of the truly genius writers that the active vibrant inner world of their of imagination and creativity- those qualities that enable a writer to write the poem or paragraph that's memorable for many- this inner life creates the same withdrawn personality that prefers a solitary existence. The life inside is quite enough for a writer, it's wearing and wearying in and of itself.

Emily Dickinson was not gay! In her time, strong and fond female friendships were voiced differently than the language used today. Just because Emil never married and had a strong friendship with her brothers wife does not mean she was gay. Emily was highly introverted and dare I say highly sensitive. In today's world, there is a lot more understanding around these personality traits than there was in her day. So for anyone who wants to question whether or not she was gay, please learn to understand and grow your knowledge about this incredibly gifted poet who has left us with an amazing legacy. Thank you

@@Wingone18 it is a poorly put together video I must say. I feel it's not a matter of forgetting most of the time. Sometimes people don't know how to study something whether it be a time period, person or historic event. I got irked because the question of Emily being gay was not asked in earnest. It was asked from modern day thinking and flirting with fantasy. It had nothing to do with exploring her life and her as a person. I have never heard of Marjorie. I will look her up. Cheers.

@@callmemako3510 it's a question that will NEVER be able to be answered by anyone on this planet. I stand by my original comments as a widely read person of Emily Dickinson's life. It's her poetry that should be celebrated instead of everyone wondering whether she was gay or not while providing poorly made videos to hypothesise. It's a disrespect to her life, work and legacy. At the end of the day what does it truly matter whether she was or not? Their are those that appreciate a poet and those that fantasise about a poet. The two are not mutually the same.
