Emily Dickinson - Publication -- is the Auction

Publication -- is the Auction
Of the Mind of Man --
Poverty -- be justifying
For so foul a thing

Possibly -- but We -- would rather
From Our Garret go
White -- Unto the White Creator --
Than invest -- Our Snow --

Thought belong to Him who gave it --
Then -- to Him Who bear
Its Corporeal illustration -- Sell
The Royal Air --

In the Parcel -- Be the Merchant
Of the Heavenly Grace --
But reduce no Human Spirit
To Disgrace of Price --

Galway Kinnell's Imperfect Thirst has a poem regarding Emily's Publication - is the Auction ... his poem is called The Deconstruction of Emily Dickinson.

This has not been commented upon because it is based upon a theology that is not based upon the material, which is the predominant theology of contemporary American culture and hence her mind set must be understood to even approach her thought.
