In class on Tuesday, we discussed the poem in which Dickinson describes things that she does and does not want to be or do. This poem really left me thinking “who is Emily Dickinson?”. Given the nature of her life and the lack of personal information we have about her, besides the letters that she sent to others, it is interesting to get a deeper look into her own wants and desires beyond what we can see in the personality that she presents to others. I am interested to see what other details about her wants, desires, and personality we will get as we continue reading more of her poems, particularly as they move forward into later periods of her life.
