Take one of the topics expressed in Dickinson's poems, such as "Death" picking up a rider to the cemetery, and present the topic in a different form.
For example: create a diary entry, monologue, script, itinerary....
Title your work with a relevant quote from Dickinson's poetry.
I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
~
“All truths wait in all things,
They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it,
They do not need the obstetric forceps of the surgeon...”
~
I am the poet of the body and I am the poet of the soul...
At another place he sings:
I have said that the soul is not more than the body.
~
The soul is always beautiful, it appears more or it appears less,
it comes or it lags behind,
It comes from its embower'd garden
and looks pleasantly on itself and encloses the world...
Man and woman: different entities?
I am the poet of the woman the same as the man,
And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man...
