Possibility Mug

Emily Dickinson

"I dwell in Possibility."

The opening line of an untitled poem, c. 1862. Dickinson never named it — the first word was title enough. She wrote it from near-total seclusion in Amherst, barely leaving the house, rarely publishing. And yet she chose Possibility as her address. She set it against Prose: the ordinary, the expected, the room you're already standing in. Poetry had wider windows.

Four words. The whole thing.

Emily Dickinson, in Plain English

• Lived: 1830–1886, Amherst, Massachusetts
• Wrote nearly 1,800 poems — fewer than a dozen published in her lifetime
• Her signature: em dashes where other punctuation would do, capitalization that created emphasis, white space that worked as hard as words
• Her posthumous publication changed American poetry permanently
• Spent most of her adult life rarely leaving her family home — and wrote poems that stretched wider than any house could hold
• Still the most formally original voice in American literature
