Countdown To Halloween – Story #11
The image that accompanies the poem read tonight is the only officially authenticated photograph of poet Emily Dickinson. The daguerreotype was taken in 1847 when she was 16 years before she wrote the poems that would make her famous when they were published after her death.
Tonight's reading in an excerpt (first two stanzas) from the poem, "One Need Not be a Chamber — to be Haunted" by Emily Dickinson. The full poem can be found here: https://poets.org/poem/one-need-not-be-chamber-be-haunted
