On this segment of HarperAudio!,
Actress Julie Harris reads the works of Emily Dickinson.  The poems and 

letters work together to reveal details of Dickinson's physically 

circumscribed but emotionally complex life.  One of three children of a 

lawyer in Amherst, Massachusetts, Dickinson dressed entirely in white and 

rarely agreed to meet visitors.
This 1961 recording includes a letter to John L. Graves from late April of 

1856, the poems "I died for beauty, but was scarce," "There came a wind 

like a bugle," "Safe in their alabaster chambers," "I years had been from 

home," "Love is anterior to life," a letter to Otis P. Lord from December 

3, 1882, "I cannot live with you," and "My life closed twice before its 

close."  These selections were originally presented as the Tony Award-

winning show "The Belle of Amherst."
