Emily Dickinson is a name many of us know, but very few of us can tell you much about it. This week Sadie brings us up to speed on a legendary American poet shrouded in mystery. We discuss her early life with her parents and education, the rumors of a forbidden love affair surrounding her and her best friend and sister-in-law, her cottage-core aesthetic that she was completely dedicated to, the strange and mysterious way she completely hid from the public towards the end of her life, and the stacks and stacks of poems her sister found in a locked box after her death, cementing her legacy as one of America's greatest poets.

Episodes to check out after this one: 19th Century Horror Writers, Jane Austen, Hilma af Klint
