Tuesday, March 29 Students took a five question "quizlet" over the assigned reading, after which we turned to Emily Dickinson's poetry, beginning with "If you were coming in the fall," "I heard a fly buzz when I died," and "Tell all the truth but tell it slant." We paid especial attention to the images in the first two poems, and to the third as a statement on Dickinson's practice of poetic indirection.
