Edicts on E. Dicks- A podcast about the Apple TV+ show "Dickinson" and the poems of Emily Dickinson

Hello everyone,

Emily's poem for today:

Wild nights - Wild nights!

Were I with thee

Wild nights should be

Our luxury!

Futile - the winds -

To a Heart in port -

Done with the Compass -

Done with the Chart!

Rowing in Eden -

Ah - the Sea!

Might I but moor - tonight -

In thee!

Also, our intro is the wonderful 'Afterlife' by Hailee Steinfeld, the star of the show. Check it out!

Hello everyone, 

It's Ben and Kyle. We are back after an extended rest over the holiday season. We pick up with Dickinson episode 2, and see what happens when Emily gets frisky. Expect magma and loaves of bread. There were some sound issues on this one, we apologise if Ben is a little quiet. But you can enjoy Kyle's phlegmatic voice all the more.

We would love to hear from you, so do email us at [email protected]

Emily's poem for today: 

I have never seen "Volcanoes"—

But, when Travellers tell

How those old – phlegmatic mountains

Usually so still –

Bear within – appalling Ordnance,

Fire, and smoke, and gun,

Taking Villages for breakfast,

And appalling Men –

If the stillness is Volcanic

In the human face

When upon a pain Titanic

Features keep their place –

If at length the smouldering anguish

Will not overcome –

And the palpitating Vineyard

In the dust, be thrown?

If some loving Antiquary,

On Resumption Morn,

Will not cry with joy "Pompeii"!

To the Hills return!

Also, our intro is the wonderful 'Afterlife' by Hailee Steinfeld, the star of the show. Check it out! 

A podcast about Emily Dickinson, but now she fucks. 

Hello all, we're Kyle and Benjamin. We love Emily Dickinson (?) and are really excited to watch the new Apple+ TV show 'Dickinson'. Join us as we discuss the show episode by episode, while also reflecting on the grim realities of life in 19th century New England with "charm" and "wit". 

This week we watch the inaugural episode, and try to figure out if any of the Dickinson siblings will ever find a suitable spouse. Also, Benjamin sings Amazing Grace, almost.  

Got questions? Don't we all? Feel free to write to us at [email protected]. Bonus points if you can include a scrappy poem.
