My passion for that recovery began when I was in grad school. I was assigned to read the women poets that Emily Dickinson read and I was hooked. I began obsessively reading 19th-century novels by women. There was a richness, humor and a detailed portrayal of the plight of women in 19th-century America. It became a cause for me to bring the possibility of teaching these writers at the college level to the forefront.
Quotes about dickinson (16 Quotes)
I have never relied on my sexuality and I don't really have an image at all. If you look at film footage of me 20 years ago, I don't look much different to the way I do now. I used to say that I would never wear anything on stage that I couldn't wear out to dinner with my grandmother. It just felt more respectable. I always assumed that being a musician was a vocation and that it was something I would do throughout my life and I wanted to do it with dignity. This current pop culture is full of perversity. I've been called the Emily Dickinson of pop and the thinking man's Madonna. You sort that one out.
Emily Dickinson has great sound and sense.
Oh yeah, for sure. Just for our guys, really. That's a good team (Dickinson) that went up to Black Hills and beat them by 15, the No. 1 team in the conference, and we handled them in the second half. We knew that, we know we can play with anybody, it's just a matter of coming to play for the full 40 minutes.
The Homer Simpson 'Conducting Oneself With Quiet Dignity' award goes to Bruce Dickinson , for not using his acceptance speech as a cheap shot against the Osbournes , but merely thanking his band and fans. Bravo, sir.

It's going to be a preview of WDA. Dickinson and Bismarck are usually always here, but the rest are hit and miss.
Frankly, Dickinson got what he deserved. We had to listen to his complaints for five straight weeks. He only had to suffer a couple of eggs on the head.
Sonya Dickinson made some great moves inside and even though her first few shots didn't fall, she stuck with it, rebounded well and played great defense.
They grab and gamble all over the court. We haven't faced that this year. We turned the ball over 14 times in the first half (in a 77-75 loss to Dickinson in December). We are only averaging around 14 a game.
We struggled for everything on offense all night. Give Dickinson State's defense credit, they worked hard.
If you listen to Sam Phillips and Big Star producer Jim Dickinson, their use of language is so beautiful,
Dickinson got what he deserved. Was Dickinson so naive to think that I was going to let him get away with talking . . . about my family night after night
(Johns Hopkins) is such different team. They actually beat McDaniel and Dickinson twice in the regular season. They have a starting line up of 5-8, 5-9, 5-10 to 6-0. They have substitutes that are about the same size. We want to bring them away from the basket a bit. We're going to have to hit a few shots from the outside early and make them come out. And then we start doing what we do best and that is play team basketball.
Jim Dickinson is a musical shaman. He not only understands and knows music, he knows and understands the people who make it. It was kind of freaky sometimes, because he would seem to know what we were thinking musically before we played it, then he'd articulate it in a way that made more sense than how we envisioned it.
I'm not sure of any direct influence, but some of my most successful poems are short poems. They have kind of a distilled focus, like Dickinson. They're very elliptical. She is quite elliptical - she distills down to the core. But my poetry doesn't sound like Dickinson's.
