I love to read and write poetry. I went through a very emotional phase in grade school that inspired quite a few poems about myself. Do you write or read poetry?
I do. I love Emily Dickinson. Her poems are beautiful. She was born in 1830 and died in 1886.
So young. I feel like a lot of those classic artists died young. 
Yes they did. She had a prominent family but was ultimately a recluse and lived in isolation.
I did not know that about her family or about her. I wonder if she was disgusted or embarrassed by her family, or if it had nothing to do with them and she was just an introvert...
Probably an introvert. All the locals thought she was eccentric. She became known for only wearing white clothes. At the end, she didn't leave her bedroom.
Wow- it's interesting that she chose white clothes. One would think that those behaviors would draw someone to a darker color. Maybe that's just a stereotype? 
Yes, it is interesting she chose white. She never did marry. Most of her friendships were entirely dependent on correspondence, sadly.
