Lights on Emily Dickinson

A lil nightingale slipped in a word on a poet Emily Dickinson. Piqued, I looked her up and whoa! Her poetry was different from what I had read so far. It kind of blew my head off and I was like wow! Check some of them out here. I haven't seen poets use a lot of hypens in their poems. Need to dig in to see if it was a common writting style of that age. It annoys me when people edit the original author's work to make them more marketable/publishable especially when it is posthumus.

Oh well, whatever. This particular poem titled "The Heart asks for Pleasure first", had me stunned for a moment. It just seem so profound. Damn!
