The Word from the Corner
Shared on North Andover Poets Corner on FB
We are watching the show Dickinson. Very recommended! Watching this show as a poet or as anyone who loves the power of words, you will be transported. It's really well done - a lot to like about it - as it bends history in artful ways to open up Emily Dickinson, her life, her times and her words. I won't say more about it, other than it inspired this poem today. Here it is.

After Dickinson
Poetry is best
done in private
out of the light
done in a dark room
then destroyed
but remembered
like the echo of light
when an eclipse burns
permanent on the eye
