I found a syllabus on comparing emily dickenson to elizabeth bishop on google. So, naturally, i bought the books. The one in particular in which i would like to discuss is Mary Loeffelholz Dickenson and the Boundaries of feminist theory.
Here is a section I find extremely insightful. Here Loeffelholz asserts that dickenson sees nature as male, and in the following poems she sees him as a male peddler.
I robbed the woods (dash here but i don't have a key for that)
the thrusting woods
the unexpecting trees
brought out the Burrs and Moseses
My fantasy to please
i scanned their trinkets curious (dash here)
I gasped i bore away
what will the solems hemlock
what will the oak tree say?
emily dickenson poem 41
