“There are many versions of Emily Dickinson to choose from.”

“I was a bookish, verse-writing odd-fit kid with authority issues, looking for a hero. By a hero I mean someone you admire but, more than that, identify with and somehow want to be. In Dickinson I found what I was after.”

Holland Cotter discusses Emily Dickinson in all her different forms: “My Hero, the Outlaw of Amherst.”
