PREFACE
To read Emily Dickinson is an exhilarating experience; to write about her a humbling one. No analytic prose can do justice to those hidden nuggets of wisdom and exploding atoms of wit that startle us in her writing; yet characteristics of that writing (in prose as well as poetry) seem to demand explanation if only in response to the questions readers inevitably raise about the whys and wherefores of her remarkable sayings.
It is impossible to look at Dickinson's poems in any typical collection, whether chronologically or topically organized, without wondering about the connections that link them and the mind that produced them. How could the timid little girl who apparently tries to hide herself in many of these poems muster courage to assail the sublimest topics accessible to human imagination? Why do the often fragmented remarks of this provincial, even peculiar, person speak so compellingly and convincingly to almost everyonegeneral readers as well as scholars? There is something happening in these poems and letters that goes beyond autobiographical revelation and confronts us with a driving purpose that motivated Dickinson to advance "by Processes of Size" from awareness of her own smallness to recognition of God's "Diameters" (P 802).
