Happy Birthday, Emily Dickinson!

Today is the birthday of the famous recluse who once wrote:

Birthday of but a single pang
That there are less to come —
Afflictive is the Adjective
But affluent the doom —

Interpret as you will and join those paying tribute to the Belle of Amherst today, like the LA Times and Rookie Mag.
