The assigned Emily Dickinson poems seem to have a theme connecting death with God. I believe Dickinson sees the world through the lens of loss. Grief seems to consume her poetry. It is as if Dickinson ruminates on the subject of death analyzing it from many angles. Her poetry also hints at her attempts to reconcile her thoughts and feelings about death and her relationship with God.
I think in the grief-filled aftermath of loss, Dickinson’s contemplates the role of God in life and death as well as her relationship with God. The Emily Dickenson poem that I liked the best was 236 [324]. I chose this poem is for its simplicity and straightforwardness. This poem contrasts two different forms of honoring the Sabbath.
