uIn Emily Dickinson’s poems “My Life Had Stood a Loaded Gun” and “I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died,” she speaks in the voice of someone (or something) different from herself. In one poem she is a speaking gun; in the other she is dead. What effect does this have for the reader? What does it tell you about Dickinson that she so easily identifies with something other than her own experience or identity?
