Dressed always in white Emily isolates herself in her room, rarely straying from her Main Street home in Amherst, M.A. What is she doing?
She's changing the world.
She's shattering rules.
Smashing rules about poems, and words, and how to use them.
Challenging rules about woman can say and think. Destroying rules about how we can look at the universe, life, god and the mysteries of the night...
To hear the truth
sometimes you must be alone.
To tell your visions,
sometimes you must break rules.
Emily does.
