Note to a Future Book Owner

This My Emily Dickinson is my second My Emily Dickinson my first My Emily Dickinson long since lost in one move across the country or another and this My Emily Dickinson just acquired I discover was formerly another’s My Emily Dickinson to reckon from all the annotations in at least two different hands which means at some point this was yet another’s My Emily Dickinson or perhaps borrowed to which I’ll now add a few marks of my own so you’ll know your My Emily Dickinson is really all of ours and we each have our own one in the same but different My Emily Dickinson.
