“…Dickinson was in the collection…”

handwritten inscription on the back of a postcard in blue ink..

Hello from Boise, ID!
I’m a historian working
at a prison museum. We
have the prison library
catalog and know that
Dickinson was in the
collection, inspiring thousands
of inmates. Just like how
she inspires me, even today.

This is a hand-written poem on the front of a postcard.

“Immortality conceived in that moment.”

A handwritten message on the back of a postcard.

Postcard Front:

A young girl
reads words
that awaken her spirit
shake her soul
and rattle her mind.
Words that echo through
the canyon of years
as bright and brittle
as the day they were
scribbled on some scrap.
Immortality conceived
in that moment.
Happy birthday
Emily!

Postcard Verso:

Thank you Emily –
for being a
constant luminous
presence in my life,
one of my north stars.

Always,

Sue

“And now – Forever -“

December the 10th, 2019,

Dear Emily,
You make Words – dancing –
Like flying Birds –
Life and Death – playing –
Like they knew each other –
You spent Time with them –
In your Garden –
From Birth ’til Death –
And now – Forever –
