Liz Eaton - Dickinson's "There is a certain Slant of light"

The VYP Emily Dickinson Series: Liz Eaton reads Dickinson's "There's a certain Slant of light", where the poet, long before the development of psychoanalytic theory, makes a clear connection between the interpretation of what is perceived by the senses of the melancholic subject and his/her own catatonic condition. The deep ambiguity here isn't simply about the possible interpretations of a scene - it is about the synchysis created between perceiving the self and perceiving the world.
