Dickinson
Why We Love Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson’s poetry feels like a secret whispered across centuries, bold, quiet, and strikingly modern. She wrote about death, nature, love, and faith with haunting clarity, turning short lines into vast inner worlds.
We love her because she saw the universe in a garden and made isolation feel like an act of rebellion. Her poems are weird, wonderful, and endlessly worth remixing.

I Taste A Liquor Never Brewed
I taste a liquor never brewed –
From Tankards scooped in Pearl –
Not all the Frankfort Berries
Yield such an Alcohol!
Inebriate of air – am I –
And Debauchee of Dew –
Reeling – thro' endless summer days –
From inns of molten Blue –
When "Landlords" turn the drunken
Bee Out of the Foxglove's door –
When Butterflies – renounce their "drams" –
I shall but drink the more!
Till Seraphs swing their snowy Hats –
And Saints – to windows run –
To see the little Tippler
Leaning against the – Sun!
