Join us at Berkshire Booked and Queer!

Published by Ray Garnett on

This Sunday is our first gathering for Berkshire Booked and Queer, online at 7 pm. Come join us online to talk about Emily Dickinson’s poetry this month, and to meet & make new friends! Check out more information and sign up for the mailing list here.

Participate to your enjoyment. Is that taking notes? Reading a few poems? lots of them? Marathoning everything? Do you just want to drop in at first and spectate people talking? Be our guest.


A BOOK.


He ate and drank the precious words,
His spirit grew robust;
He knew no more that he was poor,
Nor that his frame was dust.
He danced along the dingy days,
And this bequest of wings
Was but a book. What liberty
A loosened spirit brings! 


VII.

Wild nights! Wild nights!
Were I with thee,
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile the winds
To a heart in port, —
Done with the compass,
Done with the chart.

Rowing in Eden!
Ah! the sea!
Might I but moor
To-night in thee!
