Hi Sean, we met at AWP in Kansas City, where we swapped books. I don't think you've read my collection Tiny Kites. Because the opening poem is "Wind to Wind."

I read the phrase in Dickinson as “but a Step / a Century” not “but stop / a cemetery.”

From “How slow” to the end is included in Franklin’s reading edition as poem 1607. I don’t have Franklin’s three-volume edition to see if the earlier part is included there.

Do you know what letter this is from? I can’t find the poem in the “index of poems” in new “Letters of ED”. (Do you have it? It’s magnificent.)

Good catch! It's definitely "Century."
