The last of these works asks the addressee “Have you the little chest to put the alive in?” before mentioning a wish that when “altered a little - will be my only one.” One of these works opens “If you saw a bullet hit a Bird - and he told you he was’nt shot - you might weep at his courtesy, but you would certainly doubt his word.” The unevenly capitalized prose poem “Unholy” is included in a Lucie Brock-Broido collection titled for these works. A bobolink is mentioned in the first of these works alongside a suggestion for taking a walk with the dog (*) Carlo. In these works, the author refers to herself in the third person as “Daisy,” possibly a pet name given by potential addressees like Charles Wadsworth or Samuel Bowles. For 10 points, name this set of three ecstatic love letters Emily Dickinson addressed to a mysterious male figure. ■END■
