Lyric Life

This Emily Dickinson poem has been on my mind a lot lately--maybe because of the current political climate, maybe because of some personal things, maybe because things come to the mind when they do! This poem is about light and dark, of course. But it's more about living in the dark. What happens when there's no light? How do you go about your life? Dickinson has a few answers. Or maybe not answers. Maybe metaphors. She's the bravest I know. She gropes toward an answer, even in the dark. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, on this episode of LYRIC LIFE as I explore this gorgeous, troubling, and, well, true poem.
