Blog for December 5: Emily Dickinson

For this blog assignment, please write an interpretation of Emily Dickinson's poem "I dwell in possibility" (#466). But here's the catch: the interpretation must be based on the functions of the em-dashes within the poem. Of course, you're still writing on diction and poetic devices, but they must be presented in concert with her em-dashes.
300 words or up. Please post by 10am Monday.
