“Dear Susie,” These two words are how many of Emily Dickinson’s letters and poems began, with an affectionate address to her sister in law and next door neighbor, Susan Gilbert. They are also the two words that were erased from any posthumous publication of Dickinson’s work. In a rare display of hospitality, poet-recluse Emily Dickinson welcomes us into her own private world, sharing her triumphs, fears, and her greatest love.
