No Callers, Please -- We're Poets
"No Callers, Please -- We're Poets" is an article from the New York Times Archive discussing Victorian women poets who led cloistered lives but wrote "inexplicably fiery, sexy, sharp-witted verse." Contrasts Dickinson's "I'm Nobody, Who are You?" with Whitman's "I celebrate myself, and sing myself."

How ironic
How strangely ironic to choose this poem "Nobody." A Blog is all about establishing a presence on the Web. A Bog? How Public. Is this how I become a Frog? I feel like a foil to my own subconscious.

Video of "I'm Nobody"
There's an interesting video at the Favorite Poem Project of "I'm Nobody" being read and talked about by a 16-year old: http://www.favoritepoem.org/

I'm Nobody! Who are you? (288)
by Emily Dickinson
I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you—Nobody—Too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise—you know!
How dreary—to be—Somebody!
How public—like a Frog—
To tell one's name—the livelong June—
To an admiring Bog!
