A Posthumous Ekphrasis by Emily Dickinson (1862) on a Vivian Maier Self Portrait (1954)

Emily

This is an ex ante exphrasis that I imagined Emily Dickinson wrote in 1862 about a self-portrait photograph that Vivian Maier took in 1954.  This was published in the 2015 edition of Vision Unlimited–the literary journal of River Valley Community College.
