Although I believe we read Emily Dickinson's poetry when I was in high school (so many years ago...) it made no impression on me at that time. Rediscovering it as an adult its a completely different experience, and the originality and vibrancy of her verse is astonishing, especially considering how out-of-step her work was when compared to general practice in American poetry during her lifetime. I can't claim to fully understand all of these poems, but the ones that do speak to me do so in a powerful voice that is not in least bit dated.
