The texts for this piece are extracted from two books of writings by Emily Dickinson: The Gorgeous Nothings, a selection of her envelope writings (fragments of poetry written on used envelopes) and Open Folios, facsimiles of some of her late writings. These fragments seem to me like Dickinson's thoughts on the way to poems, thoughts to herself; they are mysterious and unusual. When I assembled the texts into the order here, they gave me the feeling of a writer's solitude, ("that unfrequented ﬂower"), sometimes almost despairing, that moves more and more to something like hopefulness. One deﬁnition of 'folio' is: "a gathering of loose sheets of paper"; this Folio is a collection of separate lines, or fragments, that were not meant to be together, but are gathered here like a bouquet of disparate ﬂowers.
