Lot Essay

There's something about the transparency of Emily Dickinson's language that is really remarkable [...] She is known for her first lines [...] which became a way for me to enter the work. They became a kind of 'cue', like a reference point, a direction, a necessary tool in itself.
—Roni Horn
