Challenging Emily Dickinson Comments

ANTHONY...AS A DICKINSON ADMIRER, I THINK SHE'D RESPECT YOUR TITLED 'CHALLENGE', AS WELL AS YOUR STALWART STYLE. LIFE WOUNDS DEEP AT TIMES...HOW WE ADDRESS IT WILL USUALLY OFFER THE TELL-TALE OF AFFECTED WE WILL BE BY THESE WOUNDS. GREAT WRITE...A BIG IO FOR ANTHONY vs EMILY!

We can be 'black of heart, ' it's true, but tragic. At least we can sometimes rise a little above the human condition and sometimes compose beautiful poems like this one that you just wrote. Very good poem, I think.
