Judith Ortiz Cofer on Emily Dickinson
← Back to Emily Dickinson Profile
“One of my favorite quotations from Emily Dickinson is: "Tell truth / But tell it slant."”
“I'm from the Emily Dickinson and Flannery O'Connor school of writing, where you write about your Amherst backyard or about a farm in Milledgevilk, and then you're actually writing about everything it means to be human.”
