"NOT KNOWING WHEN THE DAWN WILL COME, 

I OPEN EVERY DOOR.” 

~Emily Dickinson~

 

 Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) is recognized as one of the most important American poets of the 19th century.  Her poems were unique for her time, with short lines, unconventional punctuation, and they typically had no titles.  Emily lived as a recluse most of her life and her works were largely unpublished until after her death.  In honor of this great American poet, I’ve taken the libery of using segments of her poems as titles for the paintings in this series.

 

COMPLETE UNTITLED POEM

 

Not knowing when the dawn will come

     I open every door;

Or has it feathers like a bird,

  Or billows like a shore?

~Emily Dickinson~
