“Emily Dickinson was a kind of female Hamlet with daggers in her mind. She’s murderous & playful, & ultimately unknowable. And her language shifts from second to second, so that we’re never standing on solid ground. we’d be right inside one of Emily’s electric whirlwinds.” – Jerome Charyn, The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson (passage not from his book)

Reading this gives, I fancy, a glimpse into the mind and spirit of the Secret Keeper herself. 😉

It is uncannily quite familiar to the secret keeper. Emily Dickinson was one of the most influential poets & women I have had close contact with through the way they lived & their work. Emily is a wild one inside her mind & it shows in her word usage & the tightness of her poems. The Grandmother I knew & love until she died suddenly when I was young teenager. Her name was Emily. It is a name which holds such deep meaning for me. 🙂
