I didn’t expect to fall in love today…

 

but I did. Angiegirl at Angieville has a poem up, “Taking off Emily Dickinson’s Clothes” by Billy Collins that first seduced me, then pretty much killed me. Head on over and see.

Oh, good. I had an ache in my chest for about an hour after reading it. I love Dickinson, and re-read a ton of her work last year … but this had me reaching for the collection I have again, for my favorites as well as the ones referenced by Collins. Because that is exactly the way I’ve felt with her before — just stripped away, and then that sigh because her work is so perfect. And then to have it captured so perfectly? A weird meta-perfection.
