This is the first two stanzas of a poem of mine about Emily Dickinson. We were setting the type at Pyramid Atlantic for a broadside, as the poem has been chosen for inclusion to the Emily Dickinson archives in Amherst. It took us an hour and a half to set this much type and this is about a sixth of the entire poem. I was holding it to a mirror to check for mistakes. Makes me MUCH more conscious of the structure and size of a poem.
