One of Emily Dickinson's poems i tried to interpret was I Haven't Told My Garden Yet. I did so unsuccessfully. However, I did try to understand what she was saying, and what I got out of it was that Emily was going to be leaving her garden and she didn't know how to break the news to her garden yet. She maybe viewed her garden as a living being, and thought that it would miss her while she was away. Im obviously not really getting it because that doesn't make sense. But it seems as though she thinks there is a mutual feeling between the garden and her.

I prefer reading the transcendental writers because they  are less conforming with society. Like one of the poets said, he feels that his his jailed body has a more freed mind than those who's bodies aren't imprisoned. They don't give in and do what society wants them to do, or they don't do it if they don't believe in doing it. They have a mind of their own and wont back down. They stick up for what they believe in. As a result, i find their writing much more interesting. They have a more controversial style of writing that is just fun to read.
