Media Reviews
"Dickinson looks out intensely from her special need not to approach too close to other people, to experience itself. She expresses an uncertainty principle of the heart, an indeterminacy principle of the human psyche. For her the soul is a domain as resistant to observation and exact measurement as an electron hidden in the atom."
