'Hope' is the thing with feathers/That perches in the soul...The Letters of Emily Dickinson reads like the closest thing we'll probably ever have to an intimate autobiography of the poet.
In between is a life filled with visitors, chores and recipes for doughnuts and coconut cakes. There's mention of the racist minstrel stereotype Jim Crow, as well as of public figures like Florence Nightingale and Walt Whitman.
