Dickinson does it again, tersely illuminating the source and focus of shame. The C.K. Williams caught me off guard with its insightful resolution -- we should all aim for such clarity. And the Robert Creeley simply pleased me.
Excellent set. You wrote a piece on shame, yes? Would you please share the link if you have it? Would love to read it again alongside these poems. Thank you!
I came to the comments to note how much the Dickinson poem moved me…to find kindred spirits sharing the same ☺️ She somehow writes as a lens into self.

Fascinating selection!
Emily Dickinson is always the best, so wonderfully strange.
