The Gorgeous Nothings: Emily Dickinson's Envelope Poems

Product Information

Carpenter” clearly refers to Christ and “sovereign” certainly has a different connotation than “tender”. But why did she use “unsuspecting” in the margin? Is the implication that Jesus doesn’t actually know what is happening? Why the plural? Is it a slip or are there many “Carpenters” depending on the person and the suffering. I smile when you suggest that I delay “to publish”—that being foreign to my thought, as Firmament to Fin. —

These manuscripts should be understood as visual productions,” writes Susan Howe in The Birth-mark. It would seem that Johnson chose the version that had more comfort. The MS, I think, more powerfully conveys anguish--the thin ice of faith over despair. For Proust,” Susan Howe writes in her Preface to The Gorgeous Nothings,“a fragment is a morsel of time in its pure state; it hovers between a present that is immediate and a past that once had been present.”

From 1999-2012 I worked at The MacDowell Colony, the nation’s oldest artist colony, but I've also done time at an arts magazine, a library, an art museum, and a raptor rehabilitation center. In May of 2012 I left MacDowell to pursue writing, speaking, curating, and creative projects full-time.

The Gorgeous Nothings is proof that one of our most important poets can still amaze and teach us new thing about the practice of poetry. Etymology tells us that “secret” also has to do with lines, since it comes from an Indo-European root word meaning “separate, cut off,” also to be found in “harvest” amongst others. One of Susan Howe’s earliest poetry sequences is entitled Secret History of the Dividing Line (Howe, 1996 87-122).I dwell in Possibility –/A fairer House than Prose –” (J657, Fr466, M233).

I like Jan Bevin and other artists finding permission in the fascicles and other of ED’s written fragments to make their creative work--that's always a plus. On the other hand, scholarship requires proof rather than mere assertion, no matter how authoritatively given. Marta Werner asserts that ED’s words and the material on which they are written create a meaningful engagement, design, etc., and that this material somehow reinforces, completes, extends, both the meaning and purpose of those inscriptions. That is the assertion that I question. I dwell in Possibility –/A fairer House than Prose –” (J657, Fr466, M233). In a less optimistic perspective, they might also be seen as coffin builders. Poet and artist Jen Bervin understands this tension between past and present, as well as between text and object, better than most. Her own art practice beautifully explores this interplay. Her 2004 book of modified Shakespearean sonnets, Nets, is a classic in the world of erasure poetry, and strips the bard’s famous lines “bare to the nets,” chiseling away at the familiar sentences to reveal surprising new poems.
