On this segment of HarperAudio!,

We present actress Julie Harris reading from the poems and letters of
Emily Dickinson. Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) lived a reclusive life
in Amherst, Massachusetts; she never married. Although she wrote
nearly 2,000 poems, only two of them were published during her lifetime.

This recording, made in 1961, includes "This is my letter to the world,"
"The soul selects her own society," "Pain has an element of blank,"
"Hope is the thing with feathers," "I'm nobody! Who are you?", a letter to
T. W. Higginson from April 15, 1862, "I'll tell you how the sun rose," "I
cautious scanned my little life," "If you were coming in the fall," "My
river runs to thee," and a letter to T.W. Higginson from April 25, 1862.
