A rare bit of writing in pen by Emily Dickinson—on view at The Drawing Center’s Dickinson/Walser exhibit (through January 12, 2014) and in New Directions’s phenomenal new book, The Gorgeous Nothings: Emily Dickinson’s Envelope Poems. I highly recommend both, which give deeper life and physicality to one of our greatest poets.
