Please read the following poems:

A Narrow Fellow in the Grass

Because I Could Not Stop for Death

A Route of Evanescence

I Dwell in Possibility

I Felt a Funeral in my Brain

My Life had Stood--a Loaded Gun

Tell all the truth but tell it slant

There's a Certain Slant of Light

I Would Not Paint a Picture
