Quotes by Martha Ackmann (?)

“Karen Dandurand’s view that Dickinson did not publish because poetry to her was never finished. She looked upon her verse as constantly in play and the work of a lifetime. Her attitude is reminiscent of Paul Valéry’s assessment: “A poem is never finished, only abandoned.”
― Martha Ackmann, These Fevered Days: Ten Pivotal Moments in the Making of Emily Dickinson

“I am also struck by how much the poet knew her own mind, both in terms of her need for solitude and what she hoped to achieve in her work.”
― Martha Ackmann, These Fevered Days: Ten Pivotal Moments in the Making of Emily Dickinson

“Emily Dickinson reminds us what it’s like to be alive. And when she does—she takes our breath away.”
