Though only a handful of Emily Dickinson’s hundreds of poems were published during her lifetime (more than 1700 others were found posthumously), she is best known as a risk-taking writer whose work straddled the line between the straightforward and the more abstract. Inaddition, she has long been an inspiration to composers who clearly found the music in her work. The most recent of these was heard at Carnegie Hall late last week in the local premiere of EMILY—NO PRISONER BE, a song cycle by Kevin Puts that looks long and deep into the eyes of the poet.

When I first heard Kevin Puts’s gorgeous, melodic score for THE HOURS back in 2022, I was blown away, thinking it was almost too good to be true. Could it be a classic? I wanted to hear it again, though not too soon, to give it a chance to settle in its own skin. Lucky us—lucky me—that the Met brought it back so quickly. It reminded me that first impressions are sometimes on the mark.

These hats, worn by African American women, are so much more than an accessory to their outfits, representing cultural traditions, family histories, and pride.
