The Solitude of Emily Dickinson
In the upstairs bedroom of a large white house in Amherst, Massachusetts, Emily Dickinson lived most of her adult life, unseen by many and misunderstood by nearly all. She was not a ghost, though some neighbors suspected she might be one. She was not a saint, though her letters held a kind of quiet gospel. She was not crazy, as some whispered after she stopped attending church or appearing at town functions. She was simply herself—fiercely private, deeply observant, and impossible to categorize.
