About
Emily Dickinson's use of the dash varies significantly. Sometimes it is very short (almost a dot), other times long. Traditionally rendered as a standardised line, this app gives the option of seeing the dash as it looked in the original manuscript.
- 100 poems, each with annotations and audio
- Over 150 hand-drawn dashes based upon the manuscripts; switch to standard punctuation at any time
- Touch an annotated word for a scholarly note above the poem, without losing your place
- Audio readings that help bring out meaning
- Ambient soundscapes to help concentration: wind, nature, a lighthouse with foghorn
- Add your own annotations to any poem
- Export your annotations as a PDF
