Emily Dickinson was a poet who chose to retire to her room rather than compromise her muse. She wrote sophisticated poetry, misunderstood in her lifetime, that today, at the end of the twentieth century, still sings with a fresh voice. After her death, her family found packets of poems, neatly sorted and tied with delicate thread.

This box, constructed from binders board, contains evocative objects collected and created over a period of two years...objects that express the myths about Emily Dickinson. While she may still go down in history as the "crazy woman in white" who wrote poetry, we who learn of her life will know that she chose with intent and personal power to live as she did.

Poems and music for random performance. Panties, music and Cagean chance combine to make this new edition. The I-Ching was cast on a daily basis as the panties were chosen and written about for the day. Musical values were assigned to each line of the I-Ching and "plunked -out" in the computer notation program for various instruments. The I-Ching casts were interpreted and combined in unexpected ways with the panty writings to create this edition that is both book and performance. The measures of music may be combined in any order to create your own unique symphony. An enclosed CD lets you listen to one possible version.
