The myth of Emily Dickinson

The real "myth" about Emily Dickinson is that she lived a dull, empty and unfulfilled life. Her dedication and love for her craft, though unrecognized by the public, and the sheer wealth of her mind, ranks her life among the richest and deepest. In her little room on the second floor of her quiet house, she was endlessly exploring her emotional, intellectual and spiritual existence. Even though isolated from the world in person, she was fully involved in her mind and soul. Personal experiences may not have been hers, but universal experiences were, for she was sensitive to both the joys and anguish of everyday existence. And although surrounded by the ordinary, from that she extracted the extraordinary. In the end, she is the proof that no life, however and wherever lived, can truly be remote.
