A River Between Chaos and Zen - Poetry Episode 12 - Emily Dickinson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Max explores Mental Health and Emily Dickinson, her gregarious youth, and she went into seminary, which made her reclusive and did not leave her family's property. Upon her death, she asked her sister to destroy her letters, but her poetry survived.
During her lifetime, only a few of her poems were printed, mostly anonymously, and her writings were published after her death. They have spoken to millions over the decades.
Max reads:
- Because I Could Not Stop for Death
- I Heard a Fly Buzz when I Died
- A Narrow Fellow in the Grass
- There's a Certain Slant of Light
- A Bird Came Down the Walk
- The Soul Selects Her Own Society
- I Like to See it Lap in the Miles
- My Life Closed Twice Before it's Close
- Success is Counted, Sweetest
- I Taste a Liquor Never Brewed
- After Great Pain, the Former Feeling Comes
- I Felt a Funeral in My Brain
- I Never Saw a Moore
- Much Madness is Diviness Sense
