This note is about the three poems of Emily Dickinson in which the word slant occurs. I would reproduce them here, were it not that Harvard can be a trifle touchy about its arrangements of this poet’s work. You will find good texts in the edition of Johnson or that of Franklin, and acceptable ones online. The poems are: “There’s a certain Slant of light,”;[1] “Give little Anguish -”;[2] and “Tell all the truth but tell it slant -”.[3]
