Hello my name is William Spear and this is our series titled A FORCE OF POETS.
Our second poet is Emily Dickinson.
Brief biography on Emily Dickinson:
She was born in December of 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts U.S.A. and died in 1886. Her work was first published in 1890 and readers have experienced a collection of writing which includes lines such as the following:
- “The brain is wider than the sky.”
- And, “Not knowing when the dawn will come I open every door.”
- And, “They might not need me; but they might. // I’ll let my head be just in sight; // A smile as small as mine might be // Precisely their necessity.”
Our episode focuses on these two: SUMMER'S ARMIES and THE PURPLE CLOVER.
From A FORCE OF POETS . . . Emily Dickinson.
