  It's certainly a reverence for the poetry, which endures and is refreshed with each new reading, and for the enigmatic poet herself, who inspires seemingly endless interpretation and intrigue. But it's also a matter of hometown pride; that such a cultural giant belonged to Amherst before she belonged to the world, and that now her home serves as a beacon for all and a platform for new voices...that's what excites me about working for the Emily Dickinson Museum.
