"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."
