I got hold of this book, Emily Dickinson and Contemporary Art.  It's a catalogue from an exhibition they had at Amherst a few years back.  Fairly interesting visually, but verbally flat, both in the porfolio of poems they drew together (Richard Wilbur,great!) and in the essays.  There is a kind of "art-speak" I don't identify with at all.  if I were to write about art I wouldn't write like that.  I don't know what I'd do, but it wouldn't be that...  The art was postmodern but the poetry was anti-modern.  A familiar story.
