Ep. 161: "If I can stop one heart from breaking", by Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson was an American poet, who lived in Amherst, Massachusetts between 1830 and 1886.
She wrote more than 1800 poems in her lifetime but just 10 of those were published while she was still alive. She was reclusive and considered eccentric, but in many ways she was far from withdrawn — she maintained regular written correspondence with at least a hundred people during her life.
Her poems are often dark in tone and mood, often dense in their construction. and don’t have typical rhythms or rhyme or even titles. But despite all that, her work has become a go-to for readers everywhere over the past century.
This short poem does have rhyme and rhythm, as well as a soulfulness and generosity and an awareness of pain that is almost, itself, painful in the depth of its feeling.
