I’ve been wanting to read more poetry, and Emily Dickinson’s beautiful verse seems just the thing for spring with flowers blooming everywhere. The green-thumbed wordsmith was an avid gardener, and more than a third of her poems feature floral references. During her lifetime, Dickinson penned some 1,800 poems, most of them written in secret and recorded in small, handmade booklets that were discovered after her death.

Plus, I’ve never been to the Emily Dickinson Museum in Amherst, Massachusetts, and would like to visit this summer. Along with touring two Dickinson family homes, a warm-weather pastime is strolling the grounds, accompanied by an audio tour that integrates Dickinson’s poetry with the landscape.

Just finished EDUCATED by Tara Westover. Wow. This is a harrowing, infuriating, inspiring true story about growing up in an extreme survivalist family in the mountains of Idaho—and through sheer determination, leaving at age seventeen for college, the author’s first time attending school and the beginning of her transformation through education. I’m glad I get to talk about this one with my book club in a couple of weeks. There is SO MUCH to discuss and process about this story.

What a wonderful article Gary! Thanks for drawing our attention to it….. I think we’ll do a post about it and the Langston Hughes house being up for sale later this week. The house looks really cute!
