| Abstract | A transcription of Emily Dickinson's poem "Heaven is what I cannot reach." The transcription is part of the collection of transcriptions of Dickinson's poems produced by Mabel Loomis Todd for publication in a volume edited by her. Most transcriptions are in Todd’s own hand; some are typed, and some were transcribed by other individuals. Notations, editor's marks, and alternate wording are written on the transcript and the final last stanza is crossed out. The transcript is torn on the edges. The transcription is part of the Printer's Copy for Poems: Third Series. |
| Notes | The date range is based on the year Emily Dickinson died and the year the third series of Poems by Emily Dickinson, edited by Mabel Loomis Todd, was published. 1896 is penciled on the back of the transcript and appears in the finding aid for the collection. |
