I am currently caught up thinking about the through line between Emily Dickinson and Mary Oliver! I never thought of them as connected, even though I read both of them fairly close together one year, and now it feels so clear to me. The way they lived, their settings, the BEES my goodness. Thank you for telling us about it it and I’d love to read more about what you see between them if you ever feel like it. Also, I really enjoyed the show Dickinson—the first season is a little eh on race but I think improved on that front with a more diverse writers room in later seasons, so that’s my caveat in case you watch. But it’s a super imaginative show and I love that it presents a very different case for what Emily might have been like.
Thank you for the show recommendation! I am definitely going to check it out. And I'm glad this connection between Dickinson and Mary Oliver feels exciting for you! I am so new to Dickinson but I'm really excited about getting deeper into her work and am eager to see what other connections emerge for me.
Thanks for sharing the link to Project Rainbow Turtle. They are doing incredible things and the logo is really powerful.
