The poem that I’ve chosen is I’m Nobody! Who are you? by Emily Dickinson on page 775. I’ve always loved this poem, it’s one of the only ones that I know of Emily Dickinson’s. The idea of preferring to be anonymous has always spoke to me. I’m happier not having attention drawn to me. I know that Emily spent most of her time in her house, and wasn’t in the public eye. She seemed to have preferred it that way, because very few of her poems were published before her death. Even though now she’s considered one of the best poets. I think her attitude towards fame is interesting, because it is different than what a lot of people write about. She favored being alone, and it’s obvious in the poem with the words and phrases she uses to describe people
