Howe and Dickinson

When reading Howe's poetry, it was very hard to follow but I love how every person can read the poems in different orders. It makes each poem different to each person who reads them, especially with the poems where some of the lines were diagonal over the horizontal lines. There are no rules to her poetry.
Howe's book "My Emily Dickinson" was just as confusing as her poetry. While Howe made a lot of good points about Dickinson's writing, Howe also was just all over the place. One minute she was talking about Edwards, then she was on Bronte and all of her paragraphs are broken by poems and quotes. She needs to let her points come across before breaking her reader's attention by quotes.
