With her lifetime production of 1,700 poems, Emily Dickinson was one of the most prolific poets of all time.
You could replicate her feat by writing a poem a day (five a week) for less than eight years.
I did it for one year — and during the process my skills definitely improved. I don’t know if any of my poems will ever match her best stuff… but I know now that my good poems are better than her weak ones.
