In which John Green concludes the Crash Course Literature mini-series with an examination of the poetry of Emily Dickinson. Sure, John explores the creepy biographical details of Dickinsons life, but he also gets into why her poems have remained relevant over the decades. John discusses Dickinsons language, the structure of her work, and her cake recipes. He also talks about Dickinsons famously eccentric punctuation, which again ends up relating to her cake recipes. Also, Dickinsons coconut cake recipe is included. Also, here are links to some of the poems discussed in the video:
