Re: Upcoming January IBPC 2023:
Here is my proposal for Marry me, Emily Dickinson (Although, Bob, our American Emily, like the other 19thC Emily of England, and not unlike the present day Stevie Nicks - the Emily Brontë of rock-popera - was not created to be a wife and mother. At least as I believe it : creatively singular & singl...

Re: A Swelling of the Ground*
Influenced by and about Emily Dickinson
Reminds me at times, as if Poe were writing about Emily Dickinson, or one of his female characters.
Poe & Emily - 2 of my kindred literary spirits
Esp like the incisive:
"Frail, yet a power to
stun death itself."

It is a God-sent when someone writes, sings, paints or sculpts - creates - an entity that I need to experience, share in, or that is akin to an experience of my own that hasn't been held in the light for quite some time.

Re: No Papier Mache Doll, This
Hi Siva,
Given the title, the last 2 lines
"Meena Kandaswamy
is no papier mache Golu doll"
aren't needed.
But I workshop-suggest including "Golu" in the title.
