One way to introduce (otherwise disinclined) people to poetry is with art about poetry. My daughter found this installation on line. I will have to look up all the poems Emily Dickinson wrote in her
annus mirabilis in 1862 (or '63). She wrote 366 (or 360?) poems in 365 days. I don't want to steal this artist's thunder, so read about the beautiful thing Spencer Finch has made
here.
This photo is from his website. The patterns in the wax and colors are plenty poem for me.
It's a bit of a challenge to find information about the annus mirabilis, but of course ED is
everywhere.
