By Tom Chaney

President John F. Kennedy hosted a dinner for 49 Nobel laureates in the White House in 1962. At that dinner he quipped that the event was "the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever gathered at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

Rev. Joey N. Welsh. Dec. 10, 2006. Emily Dickinson

ANOTHER ANGLE: the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor

By The Rev. Joey N. Welsh
E-mail: joey_n_welsh@hotmail.com

POETS AND POETRY FOR DECEMBER, PART II: EMILY DICKINSON
Today marks the birth date of a woman known to her contemporaries as the "New England Mystic," the "Woman in White" and the "Belle of Amherst." We know her as poet. Emily Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts -- five days after the birth of Christina Rossetti across the Atlantic Ocean in England. She came from a literate family prominent in educational and political circles, and she grew up having easy access to books. Dickinson spent a brief time at Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary (later Mt. Holyoke College), but she returned home after less than a year of study there, never to go back. During most of her life she was viewed by outsiders as a mysterious recluse, but her correspondence reveals that she cherished the relationships she chose to cultivate.
