Emily Dickinson (1830- 1886) holds the distinction as one of the finest writers in the American tradition. Even though this renowned recluse never published any poetry in her lifetime, Dickinson’s posthumous collections display the complexity of an interior world within the confines of her innovative approach to form. For more on her life and work, consult the Dickinson Electronic Archives. http://www.emilydickinson.org/

Stéphane Mallarmé (1842-1898) was a French poet and critic who set the foundation for the French Symbolists. Throughout his writing career, Mallarmé maintained an interest in how poetry could integrate with the other arts. His highly experimental “A Throw of Dice Never Will Abolish Chance” investigates how readers interact with poetry on the written page.
