Of course, one of the appeals of Emily Dickinson to a modern reader is her interesting life story. But I think my favourite poems are the ones were she has a little zest for life and describes really simple ideas, such as how spring feels, wishing March could last forever, and how a bee lives its life.
So many of her poems focus on the idea of Death and how much she courts it. Her writing is so profound and existential, it’s hard to put the book down. I then picked up The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson as soon as I finished the show. If you’re looking for complete historical accuracy, I wouldn’t watch the show, but if you’re looking for a fun romp of a show that features a lovely queer relationship, then you’d enjoy it. I initially became intrigued by Emily Dickinson’s poetry after watching the hilarious yet poignant show loosely based on her life, Dickinson.
