When I explore word usage in and manuscript images of Dickinson’s poetry, I use the online Dickinson Archive, HERE, which includes the Dickinson Lexicon, and I believe it is run by Harvard Libraries.
However, when I am exploring Dickinson’s letters, I often end up on this site, the Dickinson Electronic Archives, which seems to be an archive set up back at the turn of the 21st century by Dickinson scholars, researchers, and professors, HERE.
The site seems to have been active from the late 1990s until about 2008.
There’s a page on the site that I’ve eyed for some time, and I’ve never really spent any time there exploring. I saved the link on a doc where I keep notes and ideas for future posts, and last night I thought to myself, “Hmm…what is this link?”
I clicked on it, and I thought to myself, “Oh yeah, this is that page that I’ve eyed for some time, but I’ve never really spent any time there exploring.”
(Did we all just experience a glitch in the matrix?)
The title of the page, “Titanic Operas,” comes from the poem “I think I was enchanted” (line 16), a poem written in homage to “a British literary sister who was part of one of the most celebrated couples in all of English poetry--Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning,” and the page itself is described as “a setting for contemporary poets, and their complex, contradictory, always inspiring responses to the nineteenth-century American poet Emily Dickinson.”

The site is HERE, and it consists of two “folios,” i.e., two sub-pages.

The first began as a “collection of transcriptions of readings given at a centenary tribute to Emily Dickinson held in April 1986 at Seton Hall University.” However, it later expanded to become an archive of other responses to and contemplations of Emily Dickinson's legacy.
The second, showcases the work of contemporary poets who have experimented “with form and forum, material and medium, in a manner indicative of the place Emily Dickinson has at the core of American poetry.”
As you can see, there's a great bit to explore on the site; perhaps over winter break (and I’m not subbing in schools) I can take some time to investigate all of this!
