About Me
- Brittney
- After living in London for a year, I'm adjusting to a life full of American accents and un-scheduled tea breaks. Now I've joined the cubicle life, working for the State of California.

Poetry
There’s a certain slant of light
Emily Dickensen
There's a certain slant of light,
On winter afternoons
That oppresses, like the weight
Of cathedral tunes.
Heavenly hurt it gives us;
We can find no scar,
But internal difference
Where the meanings, are.
None may teach it anything,
'T is the seal, despair,
An imperial affliction
Sent us of the air.
When it comes, the landscape listens,
Shadows hold their breath;
When it goes, 't is like the distance
On the look of death.
Emily Dickensen
