The first in a six part series of graphic images by Jennifer Weigel revisiting Emily Dickinson’s poem.

It was not Death, for I stood up,
And all the Dead, lie down,
It was not Night, for all the Bells
Put out their Tongues, for Noon.
Portraits of artist Jennifer Weigel and poet Emily Dickinson side by side
Portrait of myself with dark makeup and crow skull headdress, backlit by the sun.
