about

I doubt there are many people in the world who don’t know the American poet Emily Dickinson.

So much has been written this poet. There are plays about her life, her poems have been set to music, and coming soon, a movie starring one of my favourite actors, Cynthia Nixon, playing Emily in A Quiet Passion. www.imdb.com/title/tt2392830/

In the art world, she was like no other. Her life, her poetry and her words fit in my ear with a form of unique perfection.

As amazing as her beautiful short poems are, what is equally amazing is she lived through the American Civil War and wrote these unique, passionate creations.

Obviously, I am in love with her poetry and Emily herself, so how could I not turn her life into music.
