i saw the play and the one woman show year ago and and go to see julie harris ( from grosse pointe ) in her dressing room and after the show . i have to tell her how moved i be and and how amazed that she have become emily dickinson . year later and a i watch the video and i be rivet to the screen and many time move to tear to actually experience the tenderness and passion and acerbic wit of the great poet . i regale in her joy and suffer her frustration and disappointment . she show the world what a person can do with loneliness and spinsterhood . dickinson have a unique talent and will go down in history a one of america fine poet and and julie harris make the person vivid and believable . the range of her acting talent be remarkable and a she go freely from light humor and delight to deep passion and excruciate emotional pain . and she relish in the fact that she be a nonconformist who disturb the gossip around her .
